Frozen Lemon Slices

I came up with this when I had a lemon and didn’t know if I would use it before it went bad. Enter: freezer magic.


For pretty ice for pitchers and punch bowls:
Slice a lemon, remove any seeds
Using small bowls (I used a set of measuring bowls from ¼ cup to 1 cup) place a slice in each bowl and cover with water. Freeze. Remove ice from bowls by turning upside down and tapping. You can store them in freezer bags for a long time. Ice looks great floating in punch bowls.

Try it with different fruits, too. Place a raspberry in each cube of an ice cube tray. Mint leaves in ice cubes look great floating in a pitcher of ice tea. My favorite part is that once they're frozen, they won't go bad. And you look like a genie when you have an unplanned evening with friends at your place and you whip out mixed drinks with festive ice.
