5 Ways to Use Your Ice Cube Tray That Aren’t Just Plain Old Water Ice

By Dylan Barth at University of Michigan

Your ice cube tray can do way more than just freeze water. Try out these hacks to get the most out of it.

1. Make a Bubbly Berry Drink

Throw some of your extra berries into your ice cube tray and fill with water. Add your berry cubes to some seltzer and you’ve just pimped out a boring glass of water.

2. Make a Mojito

Instead of adding mint leaves to your mojito and running the risk of sucking them up a straw when you’re sipping (more like chugging) your drink, just freeze them into the ice cubes. Two birds, one stone, amiright?

3. Avoid Watery Iced Coffee

There’s nothing worse than watered down coffee. Avoid this by freezing coffee in an ice cube tray and adding it to your hot coffee to make it iced. Problem solved.

4. Turn Your Oreos into Ice Cubes

Take a break from dunking your Oreos in milk and just freeze them in milk instead. Crush ’em up, fill your ice cube tray, top with milk and freeze.

5. Freeze Your Fav Fruit Juices

Fill up your ice cube tray with any juice of your choice and freeze. Now you’ve got yourself some fruity cubes to spice up your seltzer water.
