Flavoured and decorative ice cubes can jazz up just about everything from a cocktail to iced tea or coffee. The concept is simple enough but the possibilities are endless! On presentation they are very Instaworthy and then after a few minutes when the ice cubes melt, another layer of flavour gets added to your drink. Genius!
These ice cubes look impressive, but are they’re deceptively easy to make. Simply add your ingredients into your ice tray and freeze like normal. Try fresh herbs, berries and edible flowers (small flowers look great, or tearing off a few petals off a larger flower works well too).

A MUST TRY: COLOUR CHANGING MARGARITA
Pour margarita mix over ice cubes made from blue pea flower tea and watch your mystical cocktail change colours without any artificial food dye! It’s sure to be your new favourite party trick. Blue pea flower tea is an herbal tea from Southeast Asia that changes from blue to purple when mixed with an acidic ingredient (like the lime juice in this margarita recipe).
