Method
Preparation
Juicing the Lemons
Begin by washing the lemons thoroughly. Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or reamer until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Mixing the Sugar
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Adding Water
Pour 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher with the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Chilling the Lemonade
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or water if necessary. Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Serving
When ready to serve, pour the lemonade into glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
