Using an ice cube tray with cute little spaces, carefully clean each little space. Warm soapy water is recommended, rinsing well of course. Using clean water, distribute carefully to each little space taking care to make sure each space has the same amount of water. This will ensure consistency size in the finished product. Also, using hot water will provide clear ice cubes but this is only necessary if you intend to use clear beverages. Place ice tray in freezer for 2-4 hours or until cubes are hard. Can be used for any occasion.
