Lemonade Preparation
Juicing the Lemons
Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer. You should have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Making the Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Combining Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the sugar syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine.
Serving
Add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. Pour the lemonade over the ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
