Stir together ¼ cup hot water and the sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add 1 cup cold water and then the lemon juice, stirring to combine. Put a berry (or two if they’re small) into each hollow of an ice cube tray and then fill each halfway with lemonade. Put the tray in the freezer for an hour or two, until frozen. Fill the hollows completely with lemonade and freeze again until completely solid. Use to chill glasses of lemonade, or add to a Pimm's cup!
Ask the hotline about this step!Can you do the same with lime juice? Do you get the same cooling attributes?
This is the most beautiful drink, the ice cubes are gorgeous. What a wonderful idea, thanks Merrill!!
They sound delightful! Is there a reason why you fill the cube half-way, freeze, and fill again? Can you just add all the lemonade at once?
It helps to keep the berries in the center of the cubes -- if you pour in all the lemonade at once, they float to the top!
In my local supermarket they sell ice cubes with fruit with the cubes individually wrapped - for about $8. I love making my own
What a lovely idea!
Beautiful! What a great summer use of berries. After trying out my basil ice cubes a few weeks ago, I have since found that the leaves get a bit slimy when the cubes melt.
