1
Juicing the Lemons
Cut each lemon in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp as desired.
2
Dissolving Sugar
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

3
Combining Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the sugar syrup (from the saucepan), and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.

4
Adding Ice and Garnish
Add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. If desired, garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves for an added flavor and decorative touch.
5
Enjoying Your Lemonade
Serve the lemonade in chilled glasses and enjoy a refreshing drink on a warm day!
