The other day I was discussing infused water and someone nicely sent me a link about fruit ice cubes. I’ve added sliced fruit to a pitcher of water before, but never tried freezing it first. After seeing some gorgeous photos on Pinterest, I’m eager to try.
The fruit can be sliced and placed directly in a tray or pureed. (Since I don’t like to wash extra stuff, I’m skipping the blender.) I also like the look of the fruit suspended in the water more than a solid color, but either way should be tasty. If you do want the blended, Momtastic has an excellent post.
Which fruits work best? Anything goes!
- Berries
- Kiwi
- Grapes
- Melon
- Pineapple
- Citrus
- Peaches
- Mango
One recipe I came across even suggested tomato. While that doesn’t sound appealing to me at all (I hate tomato juice!), it’s nice that there are so many combinations to play with.
If anyone has made these before, share your favorite fruit combos.
I have been wanting to try this idea for some time now. We are having a birthday party at our home in a few weeks and this is so festive. However, I agree, I would not put tomato in my ice cubes.
That is so nice, whose birthday? Tomato is so weird, right?! Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
This is such a great idea and one I am going to try this summer
These ice cubes are neat. I am going to try making some
Let me know how they turn out.
I live in Florida and I am always looking for ways to cool down, these sound perfect!
My sister is in Ft. Lauderdale and she told me it was over 90 today. Yikes!
