Serve over ice cubes and more lemon slices. You can also transfer to the fridge to serve later.

Notes

Storage tips: keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Maple syrup adds a mild flavor to the lemonade. If you want to avoid that, then you can also use agave nectar or simply granulated sugar. If using granulated sugar, then you will have to first dissolve it in water so the sugar does not sink to the bottom of your lemonade. To do it, simply combine equal parts of sugar and water in a small saucepan and heat up while stirring until completely dissolved. Then, cool down before using.
Feel free to add more to your lemonade, such as fresh herbs, strawberries, coconut milk, sparkling water, etc. Check out the blog post for more ideas!
