"30 GROUP" FRUIT PUNCH

The concentrated base (before dilution) can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator. This actually improves flavor as the citrus oils meld with the sugar. Dilute with water 4-24 hours before serving for best results. The full-strength concentrate can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours before diluting.

Store diluted punch in the refrigerator in covered containers for up to 3 days. The flavor will remain bright, though some settling may occur; stir before serving. Undiluted concentrate keeps refrigerated for 1 week in airtight containers. Do not store at room temperature for more than 2 hours due to the lack of additional preservatives.
