Preparation

Preparation

1. Juicing the Lemons

Start by rolling the fresh lemons on a hard surface to soften them. Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp, collecting the juice in a measuring cup.

2. Mixing the Ingredients

In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

3. Adding Water

Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Serving

4. Chilling the Lemonade

If desired, refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill, or serve immediately over ice.

5. Garnishing (Optional)

For an extra touch, garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon.
