Bright, citrusy, and laced with cool herbal sweetness, this homemade lemonade is the kind of drink that makes you want to sit on a porch and do absolutely nothing productive. Fresh lemon juice and orange juice team up for a layered tartness that bottled lemonade simply can't compete with. The mint simple syrup is the real star here — maple syrup and fresh mint leaves steep together until fragrant, then get strained into the pitcher for a clean, smooth finish with no leafy bits in your glass. Since every single ingredient is naturally free of grains and starches, there's zero label-reading stress — just pure, whole-food refreshment. You can dial the tartness or sweetness up or down to taste, which makes this incredibly easy to get exactly right. It's equally at home at a summer cookout or a quiet weekday afternoon, and the citrus slices and mint garnish make it look far fancier than the effort involved.

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.
