1
Juicing the Lemons
Roll the lemons on the countertop to soften them, then cut each lemon in half and use a juicer to extract the juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.
2
Mixing Sugar and Water
In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of warm water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3
Combining Ingredients
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher with the sugar-water mixture. Then, pour in 3 cups of cold water and stir until everything is well combined.
4
Chilling the Lemonade
Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if needed. Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

5
Garnishing
When ready to serve, pour the lemonade into glasses filled with ice cubes. Optionally, garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and presentation.
6
Enjoying
Serve the lemonade chilled and enjoy a refreshing drink!
