Check out 5 alternative ways to use an ice cube tray in your everyday life:
1. Popsicle
A long-shaped ice tray, like the one in the image, or however you prefer; and chopped fruits. Mint leaves also add a special touch.
Mix the fruits and mint in the bottom of the ice cube tray and add water. Wait for it to freeze and that’s it!
2. Wine or coffee ice
Leftover coffee and wine can be frozen in an ice cube tray. In the case of wine, ice can cool the drink without making it watery; in addition to enhancing a sangria, for example.
Coffee, on the other hand, makes a great milk with iced coffee, for hotter days.
3. Lemon and mint cubes
Squeeze lemons, add mint and freeze in an ice cube tray. Then use it in your iced tea.
4. Preserve herbs
Place your aromatic herbs in the ice cube tray and cover them with olive oil. By freezing, you will maintain the flavor and aroma of the herbs, leaving them ready to use in your recipes.
5. Preserving tomato sauce
Is there leftover pasta sauce? Store everything in an ice cube tray and freeze. It’s ready to use when you make a new recipe.
