I know what you're thinking, "Is she crazy? A recipe for ice cubes???" But these aren't ordinary ice cubes ... these are fancy! Can't wait to make some and have them in the freezer to add to ordinary beverages, from water to sun tea to pop to Gin & Tonics!

Hmmmmm seems to me lemon would work this way to. Sorry I have never been a huge fan of lemon or lime in my water!
I love lemon or lime in water ... it jazzes it up for me!
Great idea...pretty and flavorful.
Gin...vodka...everyday beverages...works for me! *Throws empty ice cube trays back in freezer* Oh, I forgot to tell you...you'd better make more...lots more...bags of 'em!
This is a great idea!
What a fun idea!
i do this with extra lemons!
Sounds good to me...we just can't keep lemons or limes in the house...Angela eats them.
Those sound great. They would be perfect made with lemons and added to iced tea!
These are neat, bet they go great with 7 Up
I agree!!!
Nice to meet you, Rae ... and many thanks for joining my groups!
I have heard Marianne has these with Spam & Vegemite sandwiches.
Well actually, only on Tuesdays ...
I said this recipe to my wife and she icily said, 'I'm glad your friend isn't crazy.'
Of course she said it "icily!!!!"
They certainly add a little extra to a drink! Very clever idea!
