Ingredients

  • 1 cup lime juice , freshly squeezed
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup or your favorite sweetener
  • 5 cups filtered water

Garnish

  • Lime slices
  • Mint sprigs (sub basil)

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a pitcher and stir to combine well. Taste and add more water or sweetener if needed. I usually keep it somewhat tart because it will mellow out when served over ice. 
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or enjoy right away over ice. Garnish with a lime slice and mint sprig. Enjoy! 

Notes

  • Before cutting the limes, roll them on the counter with the palm of your hand. This will help get the maximum amount of juice out of them. 
  • I love maple syrup in this recipe and the maple flavor does come through a little bit. If you are not a fan, you may want to choose another type of sweetener. It all just depends on your taste buds.
