4th of July Ice Cubes

This is a simple way to add to your 4th of July festivities. Kids can make this with the cooled water and it costs very little to make considering you will be likely buying berries anyway,  which are in season this time of year. As the ice melts the berries sink to the bottom of the jar or glass.

Equipment

  • 2 Ice Cube Trays

Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Raspberries
  • 1/4 Cup Blueberries
  • Water

Instructions

  • You can boil the water for the ice and let it cool or used distilled water which is a faster method.
  • Wash the berries and place 1-2 in each slot in the ice cube tray
  • Pour the cooled water on top and fill

Notes

If you do not have access to fresh berries, you can substitute frozen. 
To make cubes that are more clear it is recommended to use double insulated trays with covers. We have tried the single insulated trays with covers and they do not give you a totally clear result.
