  3. Juice about four ripe lemons until you have approximately ½ cup of lemon juice. Pour this into the pitcher with cucumber juice and add ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher and stir well. Adjust sweetness and lemon flavor as desired.
  5. Cover the pitcher and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  6. To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes, pour in the chilled cucumber lemonade, and garnish with lemon slices, cucumber slices, and mint leaves.
