Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup fresh herbs cut into small pieces

Instructions

  • Boil the water and allow it to cool. Fill ice cube cavities ⅔ full with water. Don’t toss any unused water (you’ll use more later).
  • Place small pieces of herbs in each cavity. Freeze for 3 hours.
  • Top with more water. Freeze for another 3 hours.
  • Remove from ice trays and place in cocktails for a beautiful garnish.

Notes

For a more suspended look in the ice cubes, freeze ⅓ of each cavity with water for 3-4 hours. Then add herb cuttings and water, filling ⅔ of the way. Freeze again for 3-4 hours. Then add more water and freeze once more for 3-4 hours.
