Making lemonbalm and mint ice cubes! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ You make pomegranate ice cubes the same way, with pomegranate arils - pull apart the fruit first, and scatter the red fleshy arils in the trays. Easy.

Sharon from Te Atatu South

Making lemonbalm & mint ice cubes from some of the trimmings (I've been pruning overgrown plants - lemonbalm, mint and lavender, although lavender's not in there). Ran out of pomegranates, so had to use lemonbalm plant trimmings - which I'd been planning to do so for a while anyway, as lemonbalm's good for calming nerves, especially if sucked in an ice block. ๐Ÿ˜›
Photo 1: Chop up trimmings with scissors, scattering in ice cube trays as you do so.
Photo 2: Carefully fill with tap (or any other suitable for drinking!) water.
Photo 3: Put in freezer overnight. Will add more photos of use in drinks (like iced coffees!) when they are done! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
Photo 4: Pomegranate ice cube trays. Same method - just pull apart the fruit, scatter the red fleshy arils - the edible bits! - in the ice cube trays. Easy. You can buy pomegranates from a greengrocer - I get mine from Thai Heng Grow next to Warehouse Stationery on Lincoln Road. They often have them there. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
