- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 cups Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 2 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Wash the lemons, oranges, and lime thoroughly under running water.
Cut each lemon and orange in half and juice them using a citrus juicer. You should yield approximately 1 cup of lemon juice and 1/2 cup of orange juice.
Juice the lime and add its juice to the mixture. This will enhance the tartness of your lemonade.
Pour the citrus juices into a large pitcher.
Add granulated sugar to the pitcher and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
