A Cool Idea

If you have fresh fruit on hand cube it up and flash freeze it in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Once it is frozen you can put it in storage containers. Rather than reaching for the ice the next time you are making a glass of sweet tea just add a few cubes of the frozen fruit.
Nearly anything works:
- watermelon
- cantaloupe
- strawberries (leave whole)
- peaches
- plums
Rather than watering the drink down as it melts it adds a burst of flavor and it looks really good too!

Oh. You. Genius.
I know…right?
Another delightful idea!
LOL Cathy..have a great fourth of July!
LOL Marye, I’m from CA we don’t DO sweet tea.
We do use frozen fruit in smoothies though. I have also been known to freeze fresh fruit with juice in my bundt pan as an ice ring for punch.
I am sorry, Ginger, I had forgotten that Californians were heathens. Forgive me?
;D
