Japanese Lemon Punch

This is light, refreshing and delicious! It is an elegant punch that I have made for weddings. It is incredibly easy! I have collected 3 different recipes here.

I got this from my sister-in-law and it is a standard. Everyone loves it! We used it so much at church events that it became known as 'Monson Punch'. One of my most requested recipes! We made it for my niece's wedding and couldn't make it fast enough!
