DIY Flavoured Ice Cubes

Fresh Herbs: Mint, basil, sage, rosemary, parsley and cilantro all add a fresh pop of subtle flavour.

Fresh or Frozen Fruit: Either crush up and puree a fruit of your choice (watermelon, raspberries, pineapple etc.), mix with water, lemonade, or some other sort of mild fruit juice, and freeze.

Freeze your Leftover Coffee: Keep your iced coffee from getting watered down by serving it with coffee ice cubes! Add milk to make latte ice cubes.

Edible Flowers: You can pop these gorgeous frozen cubes into just about any drink. Edible flowers are usually a bright purple and available at select grocery stores, and make for a great photo opportunity.

Hot Peppers: Hot peppers might seem like an unusual addition to a drink, but if you're a fan of spice, they can bring a unique flavour to a fruity summer cocktail.

DIY Flavoured Ice Cubes-2
I made my ice cubes with a delicious combination of fresh herbs, frozen and fresh fruit, and hot peppers. I  tried to combine flavours that naturally complement each other, like cucumber and mint, but also include fun combinations like peach and chili pepper for you to try out to give your drink a kick!

DIY Flavoured Ice Cubes-3

Be sure to use either purified or bottled water when making these ice cubes, keeping in mind that purified water will cause the cubes to come out clearer in the end.
