For those who like to keep things simple but still like a little ‘luxury’ 🙂 why not combine ‘Ice and a Slice’?
Simply slice a lemon or lime and freeze, then when the occasion arises add to your drink, be that a soft drink or your favourite tipple!
This is a great way to reduce potential food waste by using up any citrus fruits that could potentially be heading toward the compost heap (or recycling bin…)
Eliminate ice cubes – make that fruit multi-task!!
Sliced lemon and lime is also an easy way to add a bit of tangy taste to fish when cooking without the need to add oils or dressings. Â Just remove the fruit from the freezer whilst prepping dish, it will thaw quite quickly, then top the fish with a slice (or two) add a few herbs and garlic, wrap in foil and pop in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
So very simple

Very nice post. I don’t often use lemon or lime in my drinks but I will definitely start.

Brilliant idea. I like to have lemons around in case I need them for baking or just fancy a hot lemon drink but I sometimes end up with hard ones left in the fridge – I hate that waste. Will slice and freeze from now on.

After many thrown away I started freezing, I do it with limes also which I use on Tuna and in Gina and Tonic. Even if you freeze you can thaw and use for hot drinks etc… they really are the handiest ice-cubes ever! Jo
