1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the cooler

1 ½ cups freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 4 medium navel oranges)
½ medium english cucumber, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
12 fresh mint leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish
2 cups sparkling water, chilled
2 cups ice cubes

Instructions

1
Combine the maple syrup and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the syrup dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let the syrup cool for at least 15 minutes until it reaches room temperature.
2
Place the cucumber slices and mint leaves in the bottom of a large pitcher. Use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to press and twist firmly 8–10 times, until the cucumber releases its juice and the mint is fragrant.
