Infused ice cubes! A really simple and INTERESTING way to stay hydrated this summer. I bought a bunch of ice cube molds for entertaining purposes and thought why not try this quick and easy idea with the stuff I commonly have in my fridge. 4 ingredients create this really gorgeous execution.

I used

• basil
• lemon
• blackberries
• honey

Macerate all the ingredients in a bowl, then stir in water. Then FREEZE until solid. The best thing about this idea is you can add as much or as little as you want in fruits and herbs. Use these cubes to cool down in the afternoon if you haven’t prepped your infused water – or just stunt when guests come to visit for brunch or breakfast.

*I used large square ice molds, I bought specifically to make Old Fashioneds, what I learned is that a blackberry-lemon bourbon Old fashioned is as good as a regular, if not better!
