Lemon Water Punch

This punch is the best drink I've been served at a party.  My sister in law, Joni, served it at a shower she threw for me and I have made it for every single event since then.  I've handed this recipe out many times.... It's a keeper!

5 quarts water

3 cups sugar

1 T citric acid

1 T lemon extract

2 sliced lemons

Mix first 4 ingredients well and then add lemons.

*If you are going to store this drink, take the lemons out.  If you leave them in overnight, they overpower the drink.*
