RECIPE: STRAWBERRY THYME ICE CUBES
To start the celebration, here’s a fun and tasty recipe from Shari’s Berries: Strawberry Thyme Ice Cubes.
Use them in cocktails, iced tea, punch bowls, sparkling water, water pitchers, or soft drinks like Ginger Ale, 7-Up, and Fresca.
Ingredients
Large silicon ice cube tray*
18† medium-sized fresh strawberries
6 sprigs of fresh thyme (substitute basil chiffonade)
Mortar and pestle
Water
_____________________
*The larger the cubes, the more slowly they melt.
†The number will vary based on the size of strawberries available, and how many ice cubes you’d like to make.
_____________________
Preparation
1. MUDDLE the strawberries with a mortar and pestle. Distribute evenly so each section of the ice cube tray is filled 2/3 with muddled berries. Each cube requires 2-3 berries.
2. FILL the ice cube sections the rest of the way with water, and top with a sprig of fresh thyme. Freeze 4-5 hours.
