Ingredients Notes

- Citric Acid - yes, this is an important ingredient! You can find it in the canning section at stores.
- Frozen Fruit - any blend of fruit works great! You can use fresh fruit instead. I like frozen fruit because it releases more fruit juice as it thaws and doubles as ice cubes.
- Lemon Juice - A good substitute for fresh lemon juice is crystalized lemon by True Lemon. Trust me; I've never bought bottled lemon juice again since discovering this product!

Step by Step Instructions

Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
You can use fresh fruit if you wish. Â I use frozen fruit because the pieces of fruit work as ice cubes without watering the punch down. Â As the fruit melts, it adds wonderful flavor to the punch.
Yes, you can make this in a punch bowl, pitchers, or fancy glasses.
I filled my jars full of the frozen fruit. Â It took 8 oz of frozen fruit to fill them full, but works just as well to use 4 oz of fruit per cup or glass. Â If you use 8 oz of fruit per serving, you will have enough water punch for one refill. Â
Yes, I usually make these several hours ahead of time because I like the flavor to really blend, and the punch turns a beautiful red-pink color!

I hav a lot of fruit I freeze. This is a great way to use the fruit and have a flavored drink for dinner.

Hi, This recipe really is obsessive and it is appetizing. The sugary fresh pieces of fruits, the melting up of them in the water and the fruity syrup, all are the reason for my craving for this drink!

It was 2 quarts over 2 days, not all in one night. By the way it's all gone again, can you make more?
