Herbal Or Citrus Ice

Directions

1. 1
   Roll, snip, and bruise the basil leaves into a chiffonade, or work with the whole leaves, depending upon how much flavor you want to impart to the drink. Infuse them in the water. Let these sit until you have enough flavor for your taste. Then remove the leaves. Only if you are working with another herb with tough leaves should you consider leaving the leaf in the water for ice cubes!
2. 2
   Add 1 1/2 cups of basil infused water to an ice cube tray. Add any desired lemon and/ or lime rinds. Then pop in the freezer.
3. 3
   About 4 hours later fill the ice cube tray with the remaining basil water. Freeze solid.
4. 4
   Serve with the liquid of your choice. See some of the options in the photos and consider other choices like those suggested above.
