Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Oranges
- 2 whole Lemons
- 2 whole Limes
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
Wash the oranges, lemons, and limes thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or wax.
Cut each citrus fruit in half and then into thin slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Remove any seeds.
Place a slice of orange, lemon, and lime into each compartment of a standard ice cube tray. If the slices are too large, you can cut them in half or quarters to fit.
Add one or two fresh mint leaves to each compartment for an extra touch of flavor and color.
Carefully pour water into each compartment, filling just below the rim to avoid spilling.
Place the ice cube tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until the cubes are completely solid.
Once frozen, remove the citrus ice cubes from the tray and store them in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.
Use the citrus ice cubes to chill and flavor your water, iced tea, cocktails, or any other cold beverages!
