Roll the Meyer lemons on a countertop to soften them, then cut them in half and juice them using a citrus juicer. You should have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.

Juicing the Meyer Lemons

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

Making the Simple Syrup

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

Combining the Ingredients

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
