Cook with Us #31 - Trendy ice cubes with micro herbs

in #cookwithus • 5 years ago (edited)

So inspired by the entry made by @foodforsoul

We had some micro herbs in a salad the other day so I decided to try them out in my ice tray - the result was really lovely. Very excited to use them in a cocktail.

I discovered from @offoodandart that the red ones are called amaranth - have no idea what the others are

All ready for a cocktail or shooter

Loved the way the water started turning pink - it was so pretty!!

This opens up the door to experimenting with all sorts of fruits and vegetables and although Christmas is going to be cold for us - a few fancy ice cubes will still look good in the water.

Hope you enjoy!!

      Very cool idea! I just love how the micro greens color the water. Did they also flavor the water? Have fun with your new hobby!

          Really cool entry @lesbento! And by cool I also mean I love the sunnies in the background! The micro herbs work really well and it came out nicely in the cube and on the pics. Well done.
