1
Combine the maple syrup and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the syrup fully dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the syrup cool for at least 15 minutes until it reaches room temperature.
2
Juice the oranges and lime, then strain the juice through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove pulp and seeds.
