Method
Preparation
- 1
Juicing the Lemons
Roll each lemon on a cutting board to soften it, then cut them in half. Use a citrus juicer or reamer to extract the juice from the lemons until you have approximately 1 cup of lemon juice.

Mixing the Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir the mixture well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- 3
Adding Water
Pour 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher with the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir again until well combined.
- 4
Chilling
If desired, refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill it before serving. Alternatively, serve immediately over ice.
- 5
Garnishing
For an extra touch, add mint leaves to the pitcher or directly into serving glasses for garnish.
