1
Juicing the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a cutting board to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or reamer. Strain the juice through a sieve to remove seeds and pulp.
2
Mixing the Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3
Adding Water
Pour in the cold water to the pitcher with the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.

4
Garnishing
If desired, add fresh mint leaves and lemon slices to the pitcher for added flavor and presentation.
5
Chilling
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the lemonade to chill.
6
Serving
Serve the lemonade over ice in glasses and enjoy your refreshing drink!
