Light Punch

5 quarts of water
3 cups of sugar
1 Tbsp of lemon extract (it’s different from juice because it has a stronger taste )
1 Tbsp of citric acid (it’s what gives it that sweet/ sour and tart taste)
1 bag of crushed ice (crushed ice is better because it looks cooler, it’s way more fun to eat, but you can use regular ice)
Fruit (I like to add sliced limes and frozen raspberries (you can add whatever fruit you want)
