Citrus Water Punch

Yield: 8 -10 servings

Prep Time: 5

Total Time: 5

Ingredients

2 tablespoons citric acid, you can find this at most pharmacies or natural food stores
5 quarts water
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons pure lemon extract
3 sliced lemons
3 sliced limes
Crushed ice

Instructions

In a large pitcher or punch bowl, stir water, sugar, citric acid, and lemon extract together.
Add sliced fruit and ice.

Notes

Leftover Punch: as mentioned by commenters (and I’ve received emails about it), if you have leftover punch, remove the sliced limes and lemons before refrigerating. The limes and lemons will give the punch an overly sour acidic taste if the punch is stored overnight that way.
