The fancy flavoured ice cubes are something I absolutely adore. I have them in my freezer on a regular basis. I love 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 flavour that’s almost surreal. These simple and stunning cubes are a wellness overload, and just looking at them can work wonders.
The fun part is that they are incredibly easy to prepare them. All you need is some herbs and excess fruit 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 cubes, that I can’t enjoy any drink, even water, without adding few. They are a staple in my freezer on a regular basis.

Silicon Ice Cube Trays - While any ice cube tray will do, I STRONGLY recommend silicone ones.

- Pour water into the tray, covering the fruit and herbs. Freeze for a couple of hours until the cubes are solid.
Notes
- If you want to level up, you can pure fresh juice instead water. I often pour fresh pomegranate juice that adds amazing flavour and beautiful colour to my drinks.

Drop the cubes into sangria, your favourite cocktail, or even just water. Enjoy the stunning look and refreshing flavour. Trust me, you’ll get seriously hooked on these stylish drinks. Cheers!

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
Large Silicone Ice Cube Trays, 2 pack
Large Silicone Ice Cube Tray, 2 pack, with lid
