My sister and I took a trip to Ikea yesterday, and I came across these adorable ice cube trays for only $1.99 each. I didn't have anything in mind at the time, other than the fact that my beverage of choice would have "cute" ice cubes.
When we came home, however, I remembered the glass bowl filled with lemons from our tree outside. I decided to attempt lemonade, and then use the ice cube trays as blended frozen fruit for flavor for the lemonade. And thankfully, it was so easy. I cut up some strawberries, and blended them with a little bit of natural cranberry juice and some Splenda. I filled the ice cube trays and let them freeze over night.
They came out so well! I made some lemonade this morning, using the juice from 3 large lemons, 1 quart of cold water, and about 2/3 of a cup of sugar. I mixed the three ingredients in a pitcher, poured it into a mason jar, dropped the iced fruit cubes in, and the strawberry lemonade was delicious.
Keep in mind that you could also use Crystal Light's lemonade mix instead of incredibly sugared, send-you-straight-to-the-dentist lemonade. And since the iced fruit cubes are made with Splenda, they would also be a good addition to ice water to give it a little bit of flavor without adding many calories.
Enjoy!
