Ingredients
Scale
- Filtered water, boiled and cooled
- 24 fresh blueberries
- 12 small rosemary sprigs, rinsed and trimmed
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the blueberries under cool water and pat them dry. Next, wash the rosemary sprigs thoroughly, shake off any excess water, and trim them into short, drinkable pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches long.
- Fill the Tray: Place two blueberries and one rosemary sprig into each compartment of a clean ice cube tray. If the blueberries float, use a spoon to gently press them down.
- Add Water Partially: Fill each mold halfway with the cooled, boiled water. This helps set the ingredients in place. Freeze for 1 hour or until partially frozen.
- Top Off and Freeze: After the first layer is frozen, fill each mold to the top with more cooled, boiled water. Return the tray to the freezer and freeze until fully solid, about 4–5 more hours or overnight.
- Store: Once completely frozen, remove the cubes from the tray and transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. Store until you’re ready to use them in drinks.
Notes
Experiment with different herbs or fruits for unique flavor combinations. These ice cubes can last 2-3 months in the freezer when stored properly.
