Instructions
Wash the lemons thoroughly under cool water to remove any dirt or wax, then pat them dry.

In a blender, combine the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more sugar and blending again.
Pour the frozen lemonade into two tall glasses.
Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint leaves (optional) and serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
