- 1 piece Citrus fruits (e.g., lemon, lime, orange)
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 4 cups Filtered water
- 0.25 cup Edible flowers (optional)
Instructions
Wash the fresh berries thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Slice the citrus fruit into thin rounds, then cut each round into smaller segments or wedges, depending on your preference.
Pick the fresh mint leaves from their stems and gather any optional edible flowers to enhance the look and flavor of your ice cubes.
Take a clean ice cube tray and begin to fill each compartment with a mix of berries, citrus pieces, mint leaves, and edible flowers if using.
Pour filtered water into each compartment of the ice tray, filling them to the top while ensuring the fruits and herbs are submerged.
Place the filled ice cube tray into the freezer and let it freeze for at least 3-4 hours or until completely solid.
Once frozen, pop the fruity ice cubes out of the tray and store them in a resealable freezer-safe bag until ready to use.
