Method
Directions

Juicing the Lemons
Roll each lemon on the counter with your palm to soften them. Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or a manual squeezer until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice.

Preparing the Sugar Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will create a simple syrup.

Mixing the Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the sugar syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Garnishing
