When the weather is hot, lemon and herbs and a great way to re-hydrate. This lemon spritzer is so easy to make, plus there’s an adult version available in the recipe card down below, too. I love making this and keeping it in the fridge. It keeps really well in this glass pitcher.
I don’t know about you, but keeping herbs fresh before I use them up has always been a problem for me. Well, check out these herb savers! I love that they’re BPA free and they’ll keep a range of herbs and veggies fresh, longer.
