Lemon Water Made Easy

Lemon Water Made Easy- Slice and Freeze!

We all know we should drop the coffee and soda and add more water into our lives, but really who does this? (OK,  I try ….)

With summer (read warmer) weather heading our way here, we are trying to add more glasses of water to our day. But sometimes you just need a flavor, right? Our solution: Lemons, limes and oranges slices, easy !

But then I noticed that I would slice up a lemon and use 1 or 2 of the slices….. and then get busy and ….. well, forget all about it, and  find the baggie in the back of the fridge a week later with a crazy-gross science project growing inside…. grrr ….

This spring it hit me…. slice and freeze!

So obvious but WOW! I am super excited that I can slice up and use the whole lemon or lime and enjoy each slice. I simply slice up the lemon, and place in a small plastic baggie is as close to one single layer as possible. Then Freeze. The next day I break apart any slices that are stuck together and just pop one into my cold water or mug and fill with hot water.

The freezing breaks down the fruit just a little bit and it seems to me to have a bolder flavor in a smaller slice.  Try it and let me know what you think.

What I also have found is that I will bring a few, frozen slices to work in my lunch bag and stick in the big freezer there and enjoy during the day without worry (worry that I would forget to bring it home etc..). So now I am finding that I do drink more water with the frozen lemon slices.

What do you think?

I hope you try it and find you like it!
