Ingredients for making Raspberry Orange Ice Cubes:
- Water (boiled and cooled)
- Orange
- Raspberries
Needed Equipment:
- Ice cube mould
My cube mould 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 different ice cube moulds.
How to make Orange Raspberry Ice Cubes:
Here in Germany, our tap water is drinkable, so this is what I’m using today. Depending on your location, use store-bought water or boil the tap water to mould any bacteria that may be present. Then, leave the water to cool and store it in the fridge. Wash the raspberries and put one berry in each ice cube mold. Next, peel the orange and cut out slices. Then, cut them into pieces large enough to fill the space left next to the raspberry. Fill the mould with cold water. Leave some space so the frozen cubes can be removed later easily. Lastly, cover the ice cube tray and place in the freezer for approximately 24 hours.
Tip:
When the liquid becomes a solid, its volume will increase. If you add too much water, the ice cubes will be sticking together, making it harder to get them out of the mould.
