Lemonade Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a countertop to release their juices. Cut them in half and juice them into a measuring cup until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Making the Sugar Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  3. 3

    Combining Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the sugar syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Serving

    Add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. Pour the lemonade over the ice and garnish with mint leaves. Serve chilled.
