    In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir 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.

Serving Suggestions

    Garnishing with Mint
