Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.
3 tbsp water
½ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed, plus more for garnish

For the limeade

¾ cup fresh lime juice (from about 6 limes)
3 cups cold sparkling water
2 cups ice cubes

For serving

lime slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions

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