Juicing the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a hard surface to soften them. Cut them in half and use a juicer to extract the juice until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Mixing the Sugar and Water
In a pitcher, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of hot water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup.
Combining Ingredients
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the simple syrup mixture. Then, pour in the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
