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.

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
