Description

These Maple Frosties are the ultimate hack for upgrading your cold beverages. Instead of stirring in liquid sweeteners that water down your drink as they melt, these ice cubes release a burst of pure maple flavor as they chill your glass. They are perfect for iced tea, lemonade, or even soda. The simple mixture of water and maple syrup freezes into easy-to-use cubes that save time and add a touch of homemade elegance to any summer refreshment. Keep a tray in the freezer for quick, delicious drinks all year round.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine water and maple syrup in a small bowl or measuring cup.
  2. Stir vigorously until the maple syrup is fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
  3. Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray, filling each compartment about three-quarters full.
  4. Place the tray in the freezer.
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until the cubes are completely solid.
  6. Pop the maple ice cubes out of the tray and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for later use.
  7. Add one or two cubes to iced tea, lemonade, or soda as desired.

Note

Storage: Store frozen maple cubes in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent them from absorbing other freezer odors.

Variation: Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the mixture before freezing for a spiced maple twist.

Tip: These cubes are great for coffee as well, adding sweetness without diluting the coffee flavor as quickly as regular ice.

Ingredient Note: Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor quality. Avoid pancake syrup with artificial coloring.
