Can I make this agave lemonade panera ahead of time?

Absolutely! This agave lemonade panera actually tastes better after the flavors have had time to meld. You can make it up to 3 days ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator.

What's the best agave nectar to use?

For this agave lemonade panera recipe, I recommend light agave nectar. It has a cleaner, more neutral flavor that won't compete with the fresh lemon juice.

Can I use honey instead of agave?

While you can substitute honey, it will change the flavor profile significantly. The beauty of this agave lemonade panera recipe is how the agave's mild sweetness complements the lemon without overwhelming it.

How do I know if I'm using enough lemon juice?

The perfect agave lemonade panera should have a bright, tart flavor that's balanced by the sweetness. If you can't taste the lemon prominently, add more juice a tablespoon at a time.

Can I make this recipe sugar-free?

The small amount of turbinado sugar in this agave lemonade panera recipe helps with texture and flavor balance, but you can omit it if needed. Just increase the agave slightly to compensate.
