In a medium bowl, mix PEOTRACO SUGARLYTE with the lemon zest. Using your hands, rub them together until the mixture becomes aromatic and takes on a slightly damp, sandy texture.
To prepare the sugar syrup, transfer the lemon sugar mixture into a medium saucepan and add water. Heat over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves. Strain into a small bowl to remove the lemon zest, then let the syrup cool completely.
In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice, cooled syrup, and cold water. Stir until well combined.
Serve over a glass with ice.
