Juice the lemons over a strainer to catch any seeds, aiming to extract about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let this simple syrup cool to room temperature.
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to mix.
To serve, fill each glass with a generous amount of ice cubes and pour the lemonade mixture, filling the glass about 3/4 full.
Top off each glass with sparkling water or club soda for a fizzy finish.
If desired, garnish with sliced strawberries and fresh mint leaves for a fun and colorful touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
