    In a pitcher, combine the granulated sugar with 1 cup of warm water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

    Combine Lemon Juice and Water

    Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher, and then add the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more sugar if needed.

    Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the lemonade over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy your refreshing lemonade!
