Citrus Water Punch
Description
This Citrus Water Punch blends water with sugar, citric acid, and lemon extract to achieve a bright and tangy drink base. The addition of sliced lemons and limes emphasizes the citrus theme and adds natural aroma and flavor. Crushed ice chills the punch, making it refreshing and thirst-quenching.
The punch's balance of sweetness and acidity is maintained by the citric acid and sugar ratio, while lemon extract enhances the citrus aroma. Serving over ice ensures a cool beverage suitable for warm weather or social occasions.
When storing leftover punch, removing the citrus slices before refrigeration is recommended to prevent over-acidification and bitterness from prolonged contact with the fruit.

Instructions
