Fruit Infused Watermelon Ice Cubes
Easy and refreshing! This is a very flexible recipe and can be easily tweaked for your taste preference.
Servings 24 cubes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups watermelon
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare your watermelon by cutting the watermelon into medium thick slices.
- Remove the rind and seeds from the watermelon.
- Seedless watermelon is highly recommended which will leave only a few white seeds to be removed.
- Add all ingredients to a blender.
- Puree.
- Pour into ice cube trays. (even cuter are watermelon ice cube trays!) These make very cute watermelon shaped ice cubes which add a bit of fun and whimsy to the drinks.
- Freeze.
Notes
If you are using a whole watermelon, I love this helpful watermelon slicing gadget to prep a whole watermelon.
A few hours are needed to freeze the watermelon puree into cubes.
Add the watermelon cubes to a glass of water or brighten up a glass of lemonade! Add a sprig of basil or mint to the glass or water for a festive and healthy drink.
How Long Do Fruit Infused Watermelon Ice Cubes Last?
I have found the amount of time the ice cubes last in the drink is proportionate to the temperature of the drink. The colder the drink the longer the ice cubes will remain frozen. The watermelon ice cubes do not stay frozen as long as plain water ice cubes.
