1
Juicing the Lemons
Start by washing the lemons thoroughly under running water. Cut each lemon in half and use a juicer to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Remove any seeds that may have fallen into the juice.
2
Dissolving Sugar
In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with the granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved. This may take a few minutes, so be patient.
3
Adding Water
Once the sugar is dissolved, add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher. Stir the mixture until everything is well combined. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more sugar or water.
4
Chilling the Lemonade
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a refreshing drink.
5
Serving the Lemonade
When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor and a refreshing presentation.
