Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Cut the fresh lemons in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds and pulp, yielding about 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Mixing the Lemonade

    In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and 2 cups of cold water. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  3. 3

    Adjusting the Flavor

    Taste the lemonade mixture. If it's too strong, add additional cold water to dilute it to your preferred taste.

Serving

  1. 4

    Chilling the Lemonade

    If desired, add ice cubes to the pitcher or serve the lemonade over ice in individual glasses.

  2. 5

    Garnishing

    Add mint leaves and lemon slices to the pitcher or each glass for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

  3. 6

    Enjoying the Lemonade

    Serve the Minute Made Lemonade immediately, and enjoy the refreshing taste on a hot day!
