Method
Preparation
Juicing the Lemons
Roll each lemon on the countertop to soften them, then cut them in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or reamer. Strain the juice to remove any seeds and pulp, yielding about 1 cup of lemon juice.
Mixing the Sugar and Water
In a pitcher, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of warm water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a simple syrup.
Combining Ingredients
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher containing the simple syrup. Pour in 3 cups of cold water and stir well to combine all ingredients.
Serving
Chilling and Serving
If desired, refrigerate the lemonade for 30 minutes to chill. Serve over ice cubes in glasses. Garnish with mint leaves and lemon slices for an extra touch.
