Ingredients

• 4 whole Fresh lemons
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 500 milliliters Cold water
• 500 milliliters Club soda
• 200 grams Ice cubes
• 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Roll each lemon on the countertop with the palm of your hand to help release its juices. Slice the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl or jug, removing seeds. You should have about 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) of lemon juice.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with approximately 100 milliliters of cold water, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 3

Combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the sugar mixture in a large pitcher.

Step 4

Add the remaining cold water (about 400 milliliters) to the pitcher and stir well.

Step 5

Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, then pour the lemon cooler base into each glass until the glass is about half full.

Step 6

Top each glass with club soda to add a fizzy touch.

Step 7

Garnish with mint leaves and a lemon slice, if desired, and serve immediately for maximum freshness.
