Decorative IceMaking decorative ice is a fun (and trendy) and easy way to add color and flavor to your drinks. Add small pieces of colorful fruit into the ice tray spaces before adding cold water to the tray (don't forget to boil and cool the water first - see above). Choose the fruit you want to use based on the drink you are making and the effect you want to achive. Fruits that freeze well and look good include raspberry, strawberry, melon, pinapple, lemon and orange pieces (or twists). Want to try something really different? Edible flowers can also be used to add color to ice. Frozen Fruit Ice:Frozen fruit pieces can be created and used just like an ice cube - with the added advantage of being fun to eat after they have melted. Place the fruit pieces (or whole fruit- like strawberries, raspberries and grapes) on to a tary. Brush cut fruit pieces with lemon juice to cover the exposed areas (bananas,peaches etc). Freeze the fruit on the tray in a freezer for at least 3 hours. Transfer the frozen fruit into freezer bags to isolte them from other smells etc in the freezer. Flavored IceThis is fun to experiment with. Try freezing a mix of water with fruit juice to create flavorful ice to add to drinks. By creating flavored ice the flavor from the ice is slowly released into the drink. This allows for a new flavor to be added to a traditional drink (i.e. peach juice ice being added to a lemonade based drink) or to enhance a drink already made with that flavor (i.e. lemon flavored ice used in lemonade). Flavored ice can also be used a shortcut to creating frozen drinks. The popular FROZEN FRAPPUCCINO is much easier to make when you begin with the coffee portion already made into ice.
