Top Tip Tuesday - Lemon Water

Those of you who know me know that I'm never seen without my handy water bottle nearby, and it almost always has a slice of lemon in. Now, that might seem like a lot of work, but I've a really easy cheat method.

First, you buy a bunch of lemons. And I mean a BUNCH - get them when they're in season and cheap. Slice them up straight away, and lay on baking parchment. Pop them in the freezer for a couple of hours - they'll take up a lot of room, but it's only for a couple of hours. Then when frozen, you can move them over to a ziplock bag - much more economic on space.

Then, every time you make a drink, pull out a slice of lemon (they shouldn't stick together using this method) and pop it in your water - fresh lemony cool water at the drop of a hat.

Why do I drink lemon water? Loads of reasons, but first and foremost because I really hate the taste of plain water, but lemon water I can stick. It has loads of health benefits as well, it's great for your skin, and it's a digestive aid! So, next time you can get your hands on some lemons, slice them up and prep them - and they'll keep you in sweet water for a long time!

Bonus tip: they also work well in hot water!
