1
Juicing the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp if desired.
2
Making the Lemonade Base
In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3
Adding Water
Gradually add 4 cups of cold water to the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir well to combine. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
4
Chilling
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill, or serve immediately over ice.
5
Garnishing (optional)
If desired, add fresh mint leaves to the lemonade for an extra refreshing flavor. You can also garnish each glass with a lemon slice or mint sprig when serving.
