Ginger Melon Ice Cubes

Do you like it spicy? These ginger melon ice cubes give your glass of water a delicious kick, while the frozen honey melon adds a sweet, fruity refreshment. These ice cubes contain lots of flavor from home-pressed ginger juice that is healthy and strengthens the immune system. Together with the honey melon, it is a combination that makes a glass of water a summertime treat for adults. If you want to add a special kick to a glass of Prosecco, these ice cubes are also a delicious accompaniment!

Ingredients for making Ginger Melon Ice Cubes:

• Ginger root
• Water
• Honeydew melon

Needed Equipment:

• Ice cube tray

My ice cube tray has 14 compartments and is 25cm (9,9inch) in length x 10cm (3,9inch) in width, and 3,3cm (1,3inch) in height. It has a nice silicon bottom making it super easy to get the ice cubes out. You can, of course, also use a different tray.

How to make Ginger Melon Ice Cubes:

First, peel the ginger and grate it with a fine grater. Fill a tea filter bag with the grated ginger and wring out the ginger juice. You can, of course, also use a juicer if you have one on hand. Making ice cubes with ginger juice is one of my preferred ways to preserve ginger if I have too much on hand and it would otherwise dry out. Simply combine the ginger juice with the water.

Alternatively, if you don’t have tea filter bags, you can try simmering the ginger at a low temperature in the water for 15 minutes before pouring it through a strainer. You can then use that water to make ice cubes. I prefer making them with fresh juice, though!

Now, we take the melon and prepare pieces of melon that fit well into the ice cube compartments. Add one piece to each before filling them with ginger water and popping them in the freezer!

Tip:

When the liquid becomes a solid, its volume increases. If you add too much ginger juice, the ice cubes will stick together, making it harder to remove them from the tray.

You can also transfer the frozen ice cubes into a zipper bag and store in the freezer if you need to use the ice cube tray for other ice cubes.

These ginger melon ice cubes definitely make a glass of water feel like a fancy drink. They also work well in alcoholic beverages such as gin tonic or prosecco.
