Make your own travel hand wipes

You know those little packages of wipes you get fried chicken restaurants? And often you think how convenient those would be to carry around, without having to use baby wipes? What you can make your own, similar to how you can make your own baby wipes.

¼ cup water
¼ cup vodka (plain, not one of the new flavoured kinds!)
2 tbsp lemon juice
Paper towels or shop towels, the thicker the better, each sheet folded in half
Zip lock freezer bag

In a small bowl, combine the the water, vodka and lemon juice. Then in a 9 x 12 cooking pan, lay a single layer of folded paper towels. Pour a small amount of the mixture over top, then add another layer paper towels and repeat. Once the mixture is almost gone, flip the stack over so the top can absorb the last bits of liquid in the bottom, then seal in the Ziploc freezer bag. It is important to use a freezer bag, as is much harder to puncture and make a mess.
