Duh

Why didn't I think of this idea earlier? I was about to throw out some slices of lemon I had used for a lemon infusion earlier yesterday, and decided to try something. It worked:

1. Lemon - slice or wedge to sizes to fit into your water bottle.
2. If slices - curl on itself into a roll so it could fit into the mouth of your water bottle. Shove curled-up slices into an ice cube tray to hold them in their shape. If using wedges, lay out wedges side by side on a single cookie sheet.
3. Freeze. Then, when they're frozen solid, throw them into your water bottle for cold lemon-infused water on the go. What slices or wedges you don't use, bag them and freeze them for later use.

This may be just too obvious to some, but this idea finally dawned on me when I decided to throw some frozen strawberries into Baby1's water bottle earlier today for her outing to the playground. In Mid-Atlantic heat.
