What you need:
- Water
- Ice cube trays or plastic containers with lids
- A freezer
Instructions:
- Fill the ice trays or containers with water, leaving space for the water to expand as it freezes.
- Place the trays or containers in the freezer and leave them for about 4 hours or until the water freezes.
- Remove the trays or containers from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes. This will help loosen the ice blocks from the trays or containers.
- Tap the trays or containers gently on a hard surface to loosen the ice blocks.
- Remove the ice blocks from the trays or containers and store them in a plastic bag in the freezer.
Tips:
- If you want clear ice blocks, use distilled water instead of tap water.
- You can add fruit, herbs or edible flowers to the water before freezing to add flavor and visual appeal to your ice blocks.

Making your own ice blocks is easy and inexpensive. You can have a steady supply of ice blocks without having to buy bags of ice from the store. Plus, you can customize your ice blocks by adding flavors or shapes to suit your needs. So, the next time you need some ice blocks for your drinks, skip the store and make your own!
