In a 2-quart pitcher, begin by squeezing fresh orange juice until you reach approximately 1.5 cups. Add around ¾ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Then, introduce 3 tablespoons of honey (or your choice of maple/agave for a vegan option), stirring until well combined.

Gradually pour in 3½ cups of cold water while stirring continuously to dilute the juice mixture to your preferred strength. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice, pour in the chilled lemonade, and garnish with citrus slices and a mint sprig.
