Method

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.
