Juicing the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a flat surface to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a juicer to extract the juice.
2
Mixing Sugar and Water
In a pitcher, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of warm water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3
Combining Ingredients
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the sugar-water mixture. Then, pour in the remaining 3 cups of cold water and stir well.
4
Serving
Add ice cubes to the pitcher or to individual glasses. Pour the lemonade over the ice and garnish with mint leaves for an extra touch.
