- Citric Acid - yes, this is an important ingredient! You can find it in the canning section at stores.
- Frozen Fruit - any blend of fruit work 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 cyrstalized lemon by True Lemon. Trust me, I've never bought botted lemon juice again since discovering this product!

Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
You can use fresh fruit if you wish. I use frozen fruit because the pieces of fruit work as ice cubes without watering the punch down. 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. 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. If you use 8 oz of fruit per serving you will have enough water punch for one refill.
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!

Ingredients

Instructions
- Mix all the water, citric acid, sugar and lemon juice together.

- Pour water punch over the frozen fruit.
- You can either serve now or store these in the fridge for a couple hours to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes
- You can use fresh fruit in this recipe. I prefer frozen fruit because it doubles as ice cubes without watering down the punch.
- This makes 4-8 individual servings. The recipes makes 2 quarts of water punch to be poured over 32 ounces of frozen fruit. If you are wanting a lot of fruit per cup or glass this makes 4 servings which comes out to 8 oz fruit per glass with enough water left after the initial fill up for a one refill. If you divide the fruit up into 8 glasses you will need the entire 2 quarts for one fill up.

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?
