dressed-up ice

my sister is so smart.

and a total joker, too. :)

she told me that sometimes, she takes lemon and freezes it in her ice to make lovely little ice cubes (that have a hint of flavor as they melt in a glass of water or sweet tea or whatever)!

i just had lemon "cubes" but Kayla's are even prettier: she thinly slices the lemon in little circles, and puts 1 circle in the bottom of a 12-cup muffin tin... puts a little water on top of each lemon disk... and BOOM: her ice is even prettier than mine!  Isn't she a genius?!???!

just thought i would share her tip with you--- it's such an easy thing to do (and cheap!!) and gives you some points in your "i'm a cool hostess" bank!  haha! :) 

happy parties! :) and enjoy the lemony goodness as a farewell nod to summer! :)  (and let's be real, lemon in your water is good 365 days a year!) ;)
