Ice Cube Trays! Ice Cube Trays!

Let’s take a moment here and think fondly of the person who dreamed up the Dollar Store, and the person who invented ice cube trays. Together, they’re a beautiful thing. You can also find them in yard sales for cheap!
 
I use mine for a lot of things, but here are a few of my favorites!
    Use them to freeze homemade chicken, beef, ham, or vegetable stock.

    Each cube is about 2 tbsp of stock. Once they’re frozen I loosen the cubes and throw them in a baggie (labeled) or plastic container and keep them in the freezer.



    Use them to freeze Kool-Aid or Lemonade.

    Lemonade ice cubes are great added to a glass of tea or lemonade, and don’t leave you with a watered down drink.

    Kool-Aid cubes do the same thing, but are also good with other flavors of Kool-Aid! (Think Cherry ice cubes in a glass of Blastin’ Berry Kool-Aid).

    For a real treat- try pouring Sprite over the ice cubes for a fun and colorful summer drink!


    Use them to freeze milk for your coffee.

    Cools it down and adds creamer!

    Try this: Mix in with some vanilla extract, coconut milk, or flavored creams for a boost of flavor!




    Use them to freeze fresh herbs.

    Freeze fresh herbs in olive oil for an instant flavor boost to your cooking. Plus, don’t feel bad about wasting money when you have to throw out those fresh herbs that have gone rotten.

    Just freeze them before they rot.
