Strawberry Mint Agua Fresca

Ingredients

- ¼ cup mint leaves plus sprigs for serving
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- Sparkling water, ice, and lime slices for serving
Instructions

Notes
The recipes states that it makes 4 servings. That is intended for 12-ounce glasses, but you know as I do that you can use any glass you want! Just fill whichever glasses you use ⅔ full and top them off with sparkling water.
I use sparkling water that I make in my Soda Stream machine (not sponsored), but you can use club soda, Perrier, Pellegrino, or whatever you like!
