Does it add much lemon flavour to your drink, or just look pretty?

I started making lemonade myself the last few weeks. It’s delicious! Squeeze an entire lemon, add 1/4 cup of white sugar, mix. Add enough water to fill a regular sized glass, then add just as much if not more ice cubes. I use oversized glasses.

I have to compliment you on your great photography skills. This picture could very well be in a magazine! And what a great idea, to have ice with little lemon slices in them to add to water to make the drink look more pretty and taste good, too, on a summer day!

Love it! I have frozen berries and herbs, but never even thought of lemons. Great way to use them up if they have been hanging around a little too long.

Indeed! I had an oldish lemon kicking around and although the outer peel looked sad and dry the inside was still nice and juicy.

I like lemon cubes in cold water for a refreshing drink (they definitely add a lemony flavour), but they’d also be great in lemonade, iced tea or even a glass of Coke.

Nice … I’d thought about cranberries in ice cubes, but never lemons. How clever! And beautiful …

[...] idea for you (if you are similarly underhydrated) is to make lemon ice cubes and add them to plain water. It’s a great way of using the lemons at the back of the fruit [...]

The Obligatory Blurb

Thank you for visiting! My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (14) and Sarah (12). I've been blogging since 1999, which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran of the Canadian blog scene, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I am the Managing Editor of Capital Parent Newspaper but also make my living doing a bunch of other fun things. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
