Today is the end of the summer, but this is not the season when ice lovers start drinking room temperature water. Although several heavy rains have caused the temperature to drop, the sweltering feeling is still groggy and want the ice cup to keep in hand, which must be needed - to make ice cubes!

It is a clever way to make the concentrated essence of various drinks directly into ice cubes, although it may not save much overall production time, but the construction period is advanced, and every time you want to drink, you can only take out the ice cubes and add pure water/milk/soda to complete it in an instant!
Now the commercial sale of ice grid is various, round square large and small as well as a variety of tricks of the special shape, the material is mainly resin and silicone, some of the quality of the silicone mold is very difficult to take; the resin after a period of time after the hydrophobic effect will become worse; if it is to do the taste of the ice cube is very recommended to use a small special-shaped ice grid, ice is not as strong as pure water is easy to break.
In order to achieve ultra-high permeability without bubbles, large containers, slow condensation speed, and then the whole ice is cut into pieces after making. Drinking high-grade whiskey is also OK, making ordinary drinks so that it is really not worth the loss, it is recommended not to start directly to give up (carving ice is also very difficult), we have other drinks to become beautiful tips.
Coffee hockey
First prepare an espresso, the mold I use is to first pour all the liquid into it and then cover the lid, the excess liquid will be discharged from the top hole, so weigh the liquid weight beforehand to determine how much coffee is appropriate.
The older spherical mold is a slightly larger hole in the top, and then use a funnel to fill it, and the ice grid operation is cumbersome and cannot keep up with the times, and now most of them are directly buckled.
Made into an espresso ice hockey, you can take it when you want to drink it, and it is ice-American when you mix it with water. I have seen "ice hockey coffee" on the menu of some cafes before, which is much more expensive than ice American, and actually has no technical content at all.
Adding milk becomes an ice latte, and it feels more convenient to make an ice ball than to drink instant melt.
But my personal favorite is still bubble American! Skinny House Happy Water YYDS!
Fruit iced tea
The blueberries are washed and divided into two groups, one part of which is frozen in ice cubes, and the rest is juiced with water.
Qingti is fully juiced and does not need to retain the same intact pulp as blueberries.
Pour into the ice grid frozen molding ~ ~ ~ blueberries with a complete fruit + juice, Qingti because it is too big (not as good as blueberries) directly use all the puree.
Mix the ice cubes with the hot tea that you have just brewed and drink! I gave blueberries with oolong tea, Qingti with jasmine tea, no extra sugar, is a very refreshing taste, if you need to improve the sweetness, added to the ice cube or added to the tea is OK, but the more sugar in the ice cube, the easier it is to remove the mold!
Frozen blueberry ice cubes look like this, and it's also very cool with soda or other sodas!
Mango coconut coconut
Wash, peel and cut the mango into small pieces. Peeling and then cutting the mango with a peeling knife is easier and more regular.
Spread the mango kernels over the ice lattice, juice the rest and pour into the ice lattice to fill the gaps. The water content of mango ice cubes is relatively small, and the overall thickness is not suitable for making soda, which is suitable for sugar water.
Take a large bowl, pour fresh coconut water, add frozen mango ice cubes, drizzle with coconut milk, and use milk instead of coconut milk without coconut milk, but it is more recommended to use coconut milk because the taste will be very mellow (more fat).
Then put a cluster of mint leaves that are always available in the home.
Rainbow hockey
Fill the ice grid with water first, and then put in the rainbow sugar one by one, just put it in two or three minutes before the pigment begins to dissolve and spread, and the part of the sugar inside the inside will also be dissolved into the water when it is frozen in the refrigerator.
After freezing, it is like this, at first glance the color is a little too feminine, but after blending into a drink, it will become much more gentle.
Put ice cubes in the glass, fill it with soda, or add other base wines if you like, rum or tequila is recommended, and gin is also a good choice.
The finished liquid is orange-yellow with a fruit aroma (flavor) and sweetness mixed with rainbow sugar. It is not a figment of the surface, the taste of this kind of candy is still very good, and the soda or cocktail is not lost to other syrup concentrates.
There is also a similar ice cube, the same method, with QQ sugar instead of rainbow sugar.
The ice cubes made of QQ sugar have almost no sweetness, but the aroma in the sugar will be released during the condensation of the ice cubes, using Sprite as a base to increase the overall sweetness.
The overall aroma tone is still very good, but unfortunately, the surface of qq sugar after the ice cubes are all melted off is soaked and the taste is somewhat crotched.
Milk/soy milk ice
It is more conventional to add tea and coffee to ice cubes to milk, and we can also reverse the operation, freezing milk and soy milk into ice cubes and then fresh coffee and tea.
Drizzle soy milk ice cubes with freshly made hot espresso and become a glacial milk latte.
Matcha powder + sugar + hot water are mixed evenly to make a strong matcha liquid.
Drizzle on milk ice cubes and get a matcha latte! Because of the cup type, only two milk ice balls are placed in the above illustration, and one or two more need to be placed after the actual operation is dissolved.
Fruity lactic acid bacteria
Freeze lactic acid bacteria drinks and commercially available juices separately. Lactic acid bacteria drink I chose a cheap large bowl of tube full of flavor, the amount of sugar is slightly less, of course, with Yakult is also possible!
Add two types of ice cubes to the cup and add soda.
Although similar to Kerbis, but the flavor type is more abundant than Kerbis, you can also adjust the juice flavor and proportion according to your preferences, I use apple juice, I feel that grapes and strawberries are also very good.
Fresh double lemon ice
This is a universal ice cube that is very compatible with milk drinks, not only the taste is easy to be accepted, but also the appearance is also very online.
Prepare thyme leaves, mint leaves, lemon, small green oranges, passion fruit.
Two passion fruits, 6-8 small oranges, and a lemon are squeezed out of the juice and strained, while a small amount of small orange and lemon slices are prepared as a garnish.
Place the vanilla and lemon slices in the ice cube, mix the juice with the right amount of sugar and water, slowly fill the ice cube and freeze.
The most basic way to drink ice cubes is to add soda.
Sweet and sour, refreshing, blended into other small sweet wine can also be, do not steal the scene. Although it is not recommended to mix with milk, friends with an adventurous spirit can try it.
