Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a countertop with your palm to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a juicer to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Discard the seeds and pulp.

  2. 2

    Making the Lemonade Base

    In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Adding Water

    Pour 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher with the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Chilling the Lemonade

    Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill the lemonade before serving.

  5. 5

    Serving the Lemonade

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for extra flavor and presentation.
