- 2 whole Oranges
- 2 whole Lemons
- 2 whole Limes
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 4 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the oranges, lemons, and limes thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or wax.
Step 2
Cut each citrus fruit in half and then into thin slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Remove any seeds.
Step 3
Place a slice of orange, lemon, and lime into each compartment of a standard ice cube tray. If the slices are too large, you can cut them in half or quarters to fit.
Step 4
Add one or two fresh mint leaves to each compartment for an extra touch of flavor and color.
Step 5
Carefully pour water into each compartment, filling just below the rim to avoid spilling.
Step 6
Place the ice cube tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until the cubes are completely solid.
Step 7
Once frozen, remove the citrus ice cubes from the tray and store them in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.
Step 8
Use the citrus ice cubes to chill and flavor your water, iced tea, cocktails, or any other cold beverages!
