It’s an original and very simple creation that I made up. Just slice your kiwis to a desired thickness, freeze them for about 2-3 hours and sprinkle some sugar if you please. Don’t forget to peel the skin as you eat your frozen treat!

Classics are classics for a reason. Fruit ice cubes make great additions to beach side cocktails but they are also great to pop into your mouth on those blistering hot days. Use your favorite fruits, herbs (lavender and mint are v great) or beverages to create a fun twist to the old favorite.
