Method
Preparation
Wash the lemons thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand. Collect the juice in a measuring cup.
You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice. If you have less, you can adjust the sugar and water accordingly.
Mixing
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar.
Stir the mixture with a long spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Gradually add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher, stirring as you pour.
Serving
Chill and Serve
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. If the lemonade is too strong, add more water.
Add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses before serving.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if using, and enjoy your refreshing lemonade!
