How it works
-
Start by choosing your favorite fruits. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or kiwi. Anything you like can be used. Wash the fruits and prepare them. Cut larger fruits like strawberries or kiwis into smaller pieces so they fit into the tray.
-
Grab your ice cube trays. If you don't have any, you can also use small cups or other molds suitable for freezing. Make sure they are clean before placing the fruits inside.
-
Evenly distribute the prepared fruit pieces in the ice cube trays. You can also mix the fruits to make each ice cube unique. Imagine how beautiful the different colors will look in the glass!
-
Now carefully fill the trays with water until all the fruit pieces are covered. You can also use other liquids like juice or lemonade to make the ice cubes even tastier.
-
Place the trays in the freezer and let the ice cubes set for a few hours. It's best to prepare them a day in advance so they are completely frozen.
-
Once the ice cubes are fully frozen, take the trays out of the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for a short moment. This will make it easier to remove the ice cubes from the trays.
-
Now you can add the fruity ice cubes to your drinks. Whether you use water, lemonade, or even iced tea, these ice cubes will provide a colorful and tasty refreshment. They not only look great but also gradually release their fruity flavor into the drink. Have fun!
