Mealtime Magic: Fun Ice Cubes

For a fun summer drink, try freeze things in ice cubs. First, freeze a small layer of water in the bottom of the trays (otherwise your objects will sink to the bottom and melt through faster). Then add your choice of small foods. Berries or other sliced fruits work well for fruit punch or fruit juice. Use herbs or mint or lemon/lime for iced tea or olives for a bloody Mary. Freeze cherries or pieces of lemon or lime for cola. Freeze cucumber and mint for lightly flavored water.
