This drink is the kind of unexpected combination that sounds a little wild until you actually try it โ and then you can't stop thinking about it. Strong brewed coffee meets bright, zippy lemon juice, a homemade maple simple syrup, and a generous pour of sparkling water for something that's equal parts refreshing and complex. The maple syrup is made from scratch in just a couple of minutes on the stovetop, which means you control exactly what goes into it โ no mystery additives, no fillers. Naturally, there's nothing here that comes anywhere near animal proteins, so it's a completely plant-based sip without any compromises on flavor. Pouring the sparkling water slowly down the side of the glass is a small but satisfying trick that keeps every sip lively and effervescent. It's the kind of drink that works just as well as a weekend brunch treat as it does a mid-afternoon pick-me-up when you want something a little more interesting than iced coffee.

Combine the maple syrup and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the syrup is fully dissolved and the mixture just comes to a simmer, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 20โ30 minutes.
Divide the ice evenly between two tall glasses. Pour 1/2 cup of the cooled coffee over the ice in each glass.
