This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at U Mich chapter.

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

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?

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.
