Bright, tangy, and refreshingly herbal, this homemade lemonade is the kind of drink that makes a regular afternoon feel like a little occasion. Fresh lemon juice and orange juice team up for a citrus base that's layered and complex, while a steeped mint simple syrup made with maple syrup adds a floral sweetness you just can't get from a powder or concentrate. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or cross-contamination stress to worry about — just pure, clean refreshment. The mint syrup comes together in minutes on the stovetop, and once it's strained and stirred into the pitcher, you're basically done. A quick taste-and-adjust step at the end means you can dial up the tartness or mellow it out to suit whoever's drinking. Pile on the ice, tuck in a few citrus slices, and you've got something that looks as good as it tastes.

Combine the maple syrup and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the syrup is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add the mint leaves to the warm syrup and press them gently with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until fragrant. Let the mint steep for 10 minutes, then strain out and discard the leaves.
