Oats Free Mint Limeade
Bright, fizzy, and impossibly refreshing, this mint limeade is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel like a vacation. Fresh lime juice and a honey-mint simple syrup come together in a way that's far more interesting than anything you'd pour from a bottle. The syrup is made by steeping whole mint leaves in warm honey water, which pulls out every bit of that cool, herbal fragrance before the leaves are strained out entirely. Sparkling water gives the final pour a lively effervescence that makes it feel a little celebratory without any extra effort. Since every single ingredient here is naturally free of grains and grain-derived additives, there's zero guesswork about what's in your glass. Garnish with a lime slice and a sprig of fresh mint and it looks just as good as it tastes.
