Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a countertop to soften them, then cut them in half. Use a juicer or reamer to extract juice from the lemons until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Mixing the Sugar

    In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with the granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Adding Water

    Pour in 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Chilling

    If desired, add ice cubes to the pitcher or refrigerate the lemonade for about 30 minutes to chill before serving.

  5. 5

    Garnishing (Optional)

    For a refreshing touch, add mint leaves to the lemonade before serving.
