Ice 'n' a Slice!
08:00
Kinda the wrong season for this, but I feel an obligation to keep you amused in my absence!
When the weather starts getting warmer I love having a slice of lemon, lime or both in my drink with my ice. I love drinking water and this just gives it that tiny extra taste of summery joy! (Also good for adding into fizzy drinks and spirits).
Anyway, I don't like to keep lemons and limes in the fridge as we don't tend to use them before they go off. So here's how to get a cool slice without wasting fruit.
Step 1: Wash your lemons and limes. No, wait, Go and buy your lemons and limes then wash them.
Step 2: Slice your lemons and limes. Hopefully into the same number of slices of each.
Step 3: Layer a slice of lemon with a slice of lime.
Step 4: Cut some squares of aluminium foil (or aluminum if you're American!) as it's recyclable and cling film isn't!
Step 5: Put two sets of lemon and lime on your tin foil. (Diagonally you need less foil)
Step 6: Wrap them up, put them in a plastic tub and put them in the freezer.
Fill your tub obviously. It makes sense!
Anyway, then you can just go to the freezer, get a slice and pop it in your glass. I did them in pairs as my husband and I would rarely make a drink for ourselves without making one for the other as we both work at home and are rarely on our own. That makes us sound sad but it's lovely really!

ReplyDeleteWonderful idea! Never thought of freezing them. I HATE water so lemon & lime make it more tolerable for me ... but as you say they go bad so quick. Thanks for sharing.
