Aren’t these cute?!
I found the idea in Food Network Magazine and had to make them immediately. Such a fun way to dress up boring water.
Hey, maybe I just found the solution to the “I hate water” problem! … Nah. Just kidding. I still served them in lemonade. HA.
My kids, who are still pretty young, even considered them dessert. If only everything could be this easy.

The easiest way to fill the ice cube tray slots is with an angled measuring cup (affil link) or a squeeze bottle.
