Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix the first three ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
3. Put the mixture into an ice cube tray and pack hard. Make sure you
press it down really well into each ice cube spot and fill all the
spaces.
4. Let dry for 12-24 hours, preferably in the sun for as long as
possible.
5. Put in your dishwasher and run as usual.

**Note**
If you have really hard water, like we do in Phoenix, then your glasses might come out with a bit of a film and some hard water stains - mine definitely did. The best thing to do is rinse them really well after you take them out of the dishwasher. From what I've read on the internet, adding white vinegar to your "rinse aid" spot in the dishwasher should help this. I haven't tried it yet but I think it might do the trick.
