Nothing difficult or secret to this, but I thought a reminder about something that can be done so easily, but create such a stir, was a good idea. As several of my other no recipes recipes, the variations to this are limited only by your imagination! Read more !
Ingredients:
purified drinking water
various 100% juice concentrates or lemonade
various additions
''fresh mint leaves
''small lemon/lime/orange zest or wedge pieces
''fresh berries, sliced(raspberries, black berries, etc)
''whole round berries(cranberries, blueberries)
ice trays
Directions:
1. In various small bowls/pitchers, etc, mix juice concentrates with purified water. More juice will result in a darker color, which are pretty on their own, but you'll want more water if you are going to add any of the additions, so you can see them!
2. Place 1 small addition in ice wells and slowly fill with water or juice/water mix.
3. In some others, add the mix with a higher juice concentrate, only, with no bits, for compliment but contrast.
4. Freeze until solid.
5. Drop into individual glasses and fill with lemonade, iced tea, punch, etc.
6. **you can also use this technique on a larger scale by using larger pieces of additions and freezing in large jello molds/Bundt pans. These can be used in punch bowls, for example.
7. **also, for that extra, extra, keep an eye out for silicon molds/ice trays at hobby supply or craft stores!
