Heat ½ cup of water in the microwave for 1 minute. Add sugar to the mug and stir until most of the sugar is dissolved. Add this mixture to a large pitcher.
Take 1 lemon and cut it into wheels and reserve. Cut 3 lemons in half and squeeze them into a small cup. Scoop out any seeds that fell into the cup and pour into the pitcher.
Take the mint leaves in your hand and gently squeeze them to help them better infuse the juice. Add to pitcher.
Add the rest of the water and the lemon wheels to the pitcher. Mix everything and chill or serve over ice.
