Method
Preparation
Juicing the Lemons
Begin by washing the fresh lemons thoroughly. Cut each lemon in half and use a citrus juicer to extract juice. You should aim for about 1 cup of lemon juice.
Mixing the Sugar
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the granulated sugar. Stir vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Adding Water
Pour in 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
Serving
Chill and Serve
If desired, add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade lemonade!
