Ingredients
- Fresh Oranges - I use navel oranges but you can really use any kind for this, I think blood oranges would be really cool!
- Orange Juice - You may need more depending on your ice cube tray size.
Instructions
Cut each orange in half, then thinly slice the halves. The slices should be thin enough to be flexible but not so thin that they tear or break when handled.
Use four slices per ice cube mold to create a rose shape. If you have a really big ice cube tray you might need more that 4 slices. Start by placing the fresh orange slices around the edges of the mold, slightly overlapping, then curl one slice in the center to complete the rose effect.
Slowly pour a small amount of orange juice into each mold, ensuring that the juice surrounds the orange slices. You may need to gently adjust the slices to ensure they remain in place.
Transfer the ice cube tray to the freezer and allow the cubes to freeze completely. This process should take about three hours.
Once fully frozen, remove the cubes from the tray and add them to your favorite drinks! These ice cubes are perfect for mimosas, sparkling water, citrus-based cocktails, or even iced tea.
