    Mixing Sugar and Water

    In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of warm water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

    Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher with the sugar-water mixture. Then, pour in the remaining 3 cups of cold water and stir well to combine.
