Fresh-Squeezed Classic Lemonade

Steps

Make a simple syrup: heat the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, just until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is clear.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature, or chill it.
Roll the lemons firmly on the counter under your palm, cut them in half and squeeze out 1 cup of juice. Strain out the seeds.
In a pitcher, stir together the cooled syrup, lemon juice and 4 cups cold water. Taste and add up to 1 more cup water if it's too strong.
Serve over ice with lemon slices.
