1
Juicing the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a flat surface with your palm to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand to extract the juice. You should have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
2
Making the Lemonade Base
In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, 4 cups of water, and 1 cup of sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3
Adding Mint and Spice
Add the fresh mint leaves and chili powder to the lemonade mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to let the mint infuse the lemonade.
4
Serving the Lemonade
Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. Pour the lemonade over the ice, and stir to chill thoroughly.

5
Final Touches
For an extra touch, garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint before serving. Enjoy your refreshing Mexican lemonade!
