Citrus Punch

Updated at: Tue, 05 Sep 2023 23:46:12 GMT

Step 1

Squeeze citrus fruit through a strainer (to catch the seeds) and into a pitcher. Fill pitcher with water and refrigerate. (If you have one, you could juice the fruit!)

Step 2

Make simple syrup by boiling water and adding as much sugar as it will take. (Once cool, use a funnel to pour it into a container for the fridge (or add straight to citrus punch.)

Step 3

Pour punch over ice and add desired amount of sweetness.

Step 4

TEA: Add to iced tea if that’ll make you happy! Arnold Palmer is Half Lemonade, half tea so this would be great.

Step 5

I am not responsible for your fruit bill once you taste this! The kids will never think of kool-aid the same way once they taste this nicely sweetened!

Step 6

PEELS: 1) if you put them back in the pitcher, it makes it pretty! 2) if you put them in water, it’ll make it taste nice. 3) it’s always a good idea to zest/grate the peels then dry them for zest. (I separate the different “flavors” when I zest them so I can make lemon pepper, lime salt, and zest to add to my recipes.
