Perfect Ice Cubes

Remember I posted about uses for extra-boiling water? Well, here's one that is so cool it's ice cold. Ice cubes!

Did you know that boiled water makes clear ice cubes?

Why on earth would a Lazy Housekeeper need to be making clear ice cubes? Why take the time? Well, if you entertain for the holidays or just about anytime, ice cubes are a no-fuss, extra-easy way to look like a domestic diva.

Here are some ideas to get you started....
  • Freeze cranberries into ice cubes for holiday sangria or mixed drinks
  • Freeze a single coffee bean into ice cubes for an iced coffee drink (or anything with Baileys)
  • Freeze grapes into ice cubes for grape juice, or fruits for fruit punch
  • Use food colouring for coloured ice cubes for themes

Let your imagination run wild and come up with your own great ideas. I'd love to hear what genius ideas you came up with!
