Lemony Lemonade

I read something in a magazine recently (sorry, just can’t remember which one) that had a tip for lemonade…you know how it gets watery if you deluge it with ice cubes to keep it nice and cold? Well, the suggestion was to simply make a batch of lemonade, put it in ice cube trays and freeze. Then use in your lemonade to keep it cold without watering it down.

It seems like such a no-brainer, doesn’t it!?  ;)
