Step 1

Combine sugar and 2 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Strain the lemon juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-quart pitcher. Add simple syrup and stir to combine. Refrigerate until cold.

Step 3

When ready to serve, add 2 1/2 cups of cold water and stir. Taste, and add more water if it's too sweet.

Step 4

Serve with ice, thinly sliced lemons and fresh mint, if desired.
