Low FODMAP Fresh Orange Vanilla Lemonade

Bright, citrusy, and laced with a subtle warmth from real vanilla, this homemade lemonade is the kind of drink that makes any afternoon feel like a little occasion. Freshly squeezed lemon and orange juice give it a layered tartness that bottled versions simply can't match, and the quick maple vanilla syrup ties everything together with a rounded, fragrant sweetness. Keeping a low FODMAP drink interesting can be trickier than it sounds — many store-bought lemonades and flavored waters sneak in high-fructose corn syrup or fruit juice concentrates that can cause problems. Here, the maple syrup is portioned carefully at 2 tablespoons per serving, sitting right at the safe threshold, so you get genuine sweetness without the guesswork. The recipe comes together in under 30 minutes, serves four, and works just as well with sparkling water if you want a little fizz. It's endlessly adjustable too — a splash more lemon if you like it tart, a little extra water if you want it lighter — so every glass lands exactly where you want it.
