The Many Uses For An Ice Tray

The many uses for an ice tray by Barbie's Beauty Bits

Occasionally, I’ll do a random post that really doesn’t have anything to do with beauty, and this is one of them!

Today was a typical Sunday, with me out doing my errands.  One stop, for my honey dos for the day, I ran into this lady, who had tons of ice trays in her cart for a party she was having.  Long story short we had a conversation that led to this post... 

"Cool" things you can do with an ice tray.

  1. Coffee Cubes:  With the coffee obsession in the world, this was my favorite.  What a great way to enjoy an iced coffee without watering it down.  Simply fill an ice tray up with your favorite coffee, freeze an add them to your coffee to make it an iced one.
  2. Sangria Cubes:  What a fantastic method to make use of left-over wine. WAIT, who has left-over wine?  None the less, these too can add to refreshing sangria.
  3. Juice/fruit Cubes:  This one is one I created! Yeah me! These work great to enhance your sparkling water, in addition to making it cold, you can add a bit of flavor. 
  4. Frozen Cocktails:  Blending tons of ice for those frozen concoctions that help us hang on, can also water them down if you are not an expert bartender or parrothead for that matter.  So no more searching for that lost shaker of salt, as there is booze in the blender and soon it will render your perfect drink if you follow this trick first! By simply, pouring margarita mix into the tray and freeze, ARIBA, fewer hassles and more flavor! 

So there you have it, a great Sunday Funday Tip from a stranger I met at Target!

  5. I want to try freezing fresh lemon, lime, and orange juices to add to bottled water. It would make such a refreshing, hydrating, and healthy drink!
