Cut each lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a 2 quart pitcher.
Add 1 cup of sugar and water to the pitcher and stir until the sugar is dissolved. (Add more sugar if necessary.)
Serve immediately in glasses with ice or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
This recipe can be easily made into Strawberry lemonade. Use the juice of 1 quart of strawberries that have been mixed with sugar and add 1/2 cup of orange juice. (When I made it this way, I also added the strawberries too, along with the juice.)
After lemons are halved, poke your knife several times into the halved part in order to get more juice out of the lemon.
