Strawberry and Mint<\/strong><\/p>\n mint\u00a0leaves Start off by boiling the water, allow it to cool and then boil again. Set aside to cool completely (preferably covered). If you are lucky enough to have a kitchen garden,\u00a0pick your mint\u00a0fresh, alternatively pick some up from the store. Pick the leaves,\u00a0de-stem\u00a0and tear to release the flavour. Set them delicately into your ice cube tray, fill with the cooled water and allow to freeze overnight. Slice the\u00a0strawberries into slivers, pop the mint\u00a0ice cubes and the slices of strawberry into a jug, fill with\u00a0water and enjoy.<\/p>\n pomegranate arils Purchase\u00a0either whole pomegranates and remove the seeds, or fresh pomegranate arils. Find someone you know that has a lavender and pick\u00a0some\u00a0from the garden. Break off pieces of the flower into small pieces. Fill an ice tray\u00a01 cm with pomegranate seeds, add a small amount of the lavender pieces. Boil the water, allow it to cool and then boil again. Set aside to cool completely (preferably covered). Once cooled,\u00a0fill with the ice tray with water and allow to freeze. Serve in a jar or jug with\u00a0sparkling water. These ice blocks really are showstoppers and will look lovely on the table of any social celebration!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n lemongrass stalks The ultimate summer refreshment!\u00a0Start off by boiling the water, allow it to cool and then boil again. Set aside to cool completely (preferably covered). Slice the lemongrass into thin slices\u00a0widthways and then separate so that you have small and bigger sized rings. Add the rings of lemongrass to your ice block tray. Slice the cucumber, and then then quarter. Add about 5 pieces to each ice block, fill the tray with water and freeze overnight. \u00a0Add to your water bottle\u00a0or a jug of fresh or sparkling water for a refreshing and sugar-free drink.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n oranges Start off by boiling the water, allow it to cool and then boil again. Set aside to cool completely (preferably covered). Slice the\u00a0vanilla pods into 1 cm pieces, and split down the middle, keeping the seeds intact. Peel the orange and slice the fruit into small pieces. Add the sliced vanilla and orange to your ice cube tray, fill with water and allow to freeze over night. Fill your glass with water, and a squeeze a little bit of fresh orange juice into it, add a few of the vanilla and orange ice blocks to finish off. As the ice melts the water will be infused with a wonderfully delicate vanilla flavour. This is a decadent way to enjoy your water!<\/span><\/p>\n Check out other refreshing summer drinks recipes HERE<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n![\"Strawberry](\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/IceIceBaby_1000x560_Strawberry_Mint.jpg\")
