Fancy Flavored Ice Cubes

I absolutely adore healthy food and drinks that are not just nourishing but also look beautiful, creative, aromatic, and stylish. With just a pinch of nature and creativity, you can transform everyday beverages into something so beautiful for the eye and so extraordinary. So let’s enter Elsa’s world and create fancy ice cubes – a perfect blend of aroma, beauty, and flavor that’s almost surreal. These simple and stunning cubes are a wellness overload, and just looking at them can work wonders.

It’s incredibly easy to prepare these beauties. All you need are some herbs and fruits lying around your house, just waiting to be used in delicious, healthy, and visually stunning drinks. I must confess, I’m so hooked on these that I can’t enjoy any drink, even water, without adding few cubes. They’re a staple in my freezer—always!

Let me show you a few of the many ways you can create these pretty ice cubes, and feel proud knowing you’re making the most of your fruits and herbs without wasting a thing.

These simple and stunning cubes are a wellness overload, and just looking at them can work wonders.

Ingredients

  • Water – Because you can't have ice cubes without liquid, and there is nothing more universal than water!

  • Fresh Herbs – Such as rosemary, basil, mint, lavender, and more.

  • Fruit Slices – Lemons, oranges, various berries, apples, peaches—the possibilities are endless.

  • Silicone Ice Cube Trays – While any ice cube tray will do, I STRONGLY recommend silicone ones.

Directions

  • Place a few slices of fruit into each compartment of the ice cube tray.
  • Add a few fresh herb leaves to each compartment. You can even squeeze some of that fruity juice straight into it for extra flavor.

  • Pour water into the tray, covering the fruit and herbs. Freeze for a couple of hours until the cubes are solid.

The reason why I strongly encourage using the silicone ice cube trays, is that they’re incredibly easy to pop the ice cubes out of, and the larger cubes look fantastic. There are so many variations, shapes, and sizes available on the market. Here are a few of my top 3 choices:

Large Silicone Ice Cube Trays, 3 pack, with lid
