Decorative Ice Cubes
For crystal-clear ice cubes, start with water that's been
boiled, then cooled to room temperature before being poured
into ice-cube trays. Bottled spring water will also give you
clear cubes.
Make festive ice cubes by freezing small edibles inside. For
instance, use small lemon-wedge chunks or mint sprigs for
iced tea, a whole raspberry or blackberry for fruit punches,
a pineapple chunk for pinoladas, a green olive in martinis,
etc. You can do the same with edible flowers.
Make large or decoratively shaped ice cubes (for punch
bowls, etc.) by freezing water in muffin tins, madeleine
pans, mini Bundt pans, [censored] tins, etc.
