How to Make Easy Homemade Lemonade

  1. Juice the lemons (about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice).
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Add the mint leaves (optional) and gently muddle them to release their flavor.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
  5. Before serving, give the lemonade a good stir.
  6. Enjoy your homemade lemonade! Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
