Using a wooden mallet or old-fashioned potato masher, press the sliced lemons into 1/3 cup of the sugar, in the container in which the lemonade is to be served. Allow the slices to stand in the sugar for 15 minutes. Add the water, the lemon juice, and the remaining sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the ice cubes and grate nutmeg over the top.
