Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Cut each lemon in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. Strain the juice into a measuring cup to remove seeds and pulp.

  2. 2

    Mixing the Sugar

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup.

  3. 3

    Combining Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the simple syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to mix everything together.

  4. 4

    Chilling and Serving

    Add ice to the pitcher or to individual glasses. Pour the lemonade over the ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
