Ingredients
- 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons White rum (optional)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, muddle the fresh mint leaves together with the granulated sugar to release the mint's essential oils and combine the flavors.
2. Add the lime juice and lime zest to the muddled mint mixture, stirring well to combine.
3. Pour the water into the mixture and stir to distribute the mint, lime, and sugar mixture evenly.
4. If desired, stir in the white rum for a slight alcoholic kick.
5. Transfer the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove mint leaf pieces, ensuring a clear liquid for freezing.
6. Fill an ice cube tray evenly with the prepared mojito-liquid mixture.
7. Place the tray in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cubes are solid.
8. Once frozen, remove the Mojito Ice Cubes and use them in your desired beverage, such as plain water, soda, sparkling water, or cocktails, for a burst of mojito flavor.
