Tart, bright, and impossibly refreshing, this citrus drink is the kind of thing you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all week. The secret is a quick lime zest–infused agave syrup that steeps for fifteen minutes before being strained into the mix — it adds a floral, aromatic depth that plain sugar water simply can't match. Fresh-squeezed lemon juice does the heavy lifting here, giving you that bold, sunny tartness that bottled juice never quite delivers. Agave dissolves beautifully without any heating fuss and keeps the whole drink plant-based from start to finish. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved — just clean, simple citrus. Serve it over a big glass of ice with a lemon or lime slice on the rim and it looks as good as it tastes.

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.
