How to make rainbow ice cubes yourself
If you like it really colorful, you can make your ice cubes colorful and in several layers.
For this purpose, the fruits are individually pureed in and then stored in the refrigerator.
However, these ice cubes with flavor require a little patience.
Because the layers are frozen individually. So you make the first layer - let it freeze in the freezer. After about half an hour you fill the second layer and then the third.
If that's too much effort for you, you can also experiment with the consistency of your purees. Thick fruit puree forms the first layer. Make the second layer rather watery. Pour in carefully. Then it works relatively well.
Why making ice cubes yourself also works without a mold
You have a great desire for DIY ice cubes but no mold? No problem! You can also make ice cubes without a mold.
- Just grab a regular freezer bag.
- Fill it with 1/3 cold water.
- Close it tightly and place it flat in the freezer compartment
- Wait until the water is completely frozen through
- Grab a hammer and go wild :) Tap the closed bag until the ice cream is the size you want
