ICE CUBE TWITTER RECIPES

Steps:

• 1.

  Choose firm, fresh herbs, from the store or your own garden; such as: thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, or sage. Remove the stems and discard; chop the herbs as desired.

• 2.

  Pack the wells of ice cube trays about 2/3 full of herbs. If desired, you can mix up the herbs; think about freezing sage, thyme, and rosemary together and use to roast whole chickens, sweet potatoes or root vegetables.

• 3.

  Pour extra-virgin olive oil or melted unsalted butter over the herbs. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.

• 4.

  Remove the frozen cubes and store in freezer containers or small bags. Be sure to label each container or bag with the type of herb and oil inside.

• 5.

  The frozen cubes can be tossed into your favorite pasta sauce, used as a base for soups when sautéing onions or used to sauté fresh vegetables, chicken or pork.

Steps:

• Empty the ice cubes that are left in the trays (if there are any left) into the bin.
• Take the trays over to the sink and fill them with cold water. (Hot water will freeze faster and more clear).
• Place the water filled ice trays back in the freezer.
• Replace the ice bin if you had to remove it.
• Shut the door to the freezer.
• Be sure to leave for around 4-6 hours at least to make sure it is frozen.
• If you want to experiment, you can freeze things like fruit infused waters or juices.
