Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the fresh lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut them in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. You should aim for about 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Mixing the Sugar

    In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar with 1 cup of warm water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved to create a simple syrup.

  3. 3

    Combining Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, the simple syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to mix everything together.

  4. 4

    Serving the Lemonade

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice. If desired, add lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish.
