Sometimes I feel like I don’t drink enough water.

Let me rephrase that….  I KNOW I don’t drink enough water.

I know I SHOULD drink more water, but when it comes right down to it; I forget.

Plus, it’s not all that exciting.

I know it sounds trivial, but I need a little adventure in my water!

And flavor.

Making these ice cubes in bulk and using them in my daily water drinking not only helps me increase my water intake, but it encourages me to drink more water than I ever would have throughout the day.

The taste is so pleasant, you’d think you were being pampered at a posh spa!

Well, as long as you can forget about the pile of laundry on the couch while you sip…

Here’s how you can make your own:

• Citrus *I used tangerines, but feel free to use any other variety.  Oranges, lemons, even limes*
• Fresh mint
• Ice cube trays

Cut your citrus into a size that will fit the individual wells in your ice tray

Same with the mint leaves.  Some were small enough to go in uncut, others needed to be halved.  Just use your judgment.

Place one of the citrus wedges and a mint leaf into each ice tray well.  Fill with water and place in freezer until completely frozen.

When I make mine in bulk, I make several trays and keep in a large bowl in the freezer and use it all week.

This is also a great way to use up your citrus before it goes bad.  If it’s frozen, it’s preserved!

It’s a hit with all the kiddos too!

Once the ice melts, just add more ice.  The citrus and mint stay intact and the flavor keeps coming!

I think it would be great once raspberry season comes around too.

Happy sipping!
