Bright, citrusy, and genuinely refreshing, this lemonade gets an aromatic upgrade from a lime zest–infused agave syrup that takes just minutes to pull together on the stovetop. The syrup steeps long enough to draw out every bit of fragrance from the zest before being strained clean, so the final drink is silky smooth with no bits or texture surprises. Managing eosinophilic esophagitis often means scrutinizing every ingredient label, and this recipe keeps things beautifully simple — fresh lemon juice, agave, water, and lime zest, nothing more. There are no common trigger ingredients lurking here, and because you're making it from scratch, you stay in complete control of what goes into the pitcher. The balance of tart lemon and floral lime is easy to tweak to your own taste, whether you want something bold and puckery or a little more mellow. Poured over ice with a citrus slice on the rim, it looks like something you'd order at a nice café — but it comes together in your own kitchen with total peace of mind.

Combine the agave syrup, 1/2 cup water, and lime zest in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the agave is fully dissolved, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the syrup steep for 15 minutes so the lime zest infuses fully.
Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing the zest lightly to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
