1
Juicing the Lemons
Roll the Meyer lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut them in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or a reamer until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
2
Making the Lemonade Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring 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 previous step), and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine.

4
Chill and Serve
For the best flavor, chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Serve over ice, garnished with lemon slices and mint leaves if desired.
