Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Slice the lemons in half, and use a juicer (or your hands) to extract the juice from the lemons into a bowl. You should aim for about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a simple syrup. Remove from heat.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the simple syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or water if necessary. If you like a stronger lemon flavor, you can add a bit more lemon juice.
Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or pour it immediately over glasses filled with ice for immediate serving.
Garnish with lemon slices or mint leaves if desired and serve chilled!
