Have you ever tried to sweetened a cold drink, like tea? Impossible. It’s always best to sweeten any drink before it is chilled. It makes life so much easier. Here is a little tip to help sweeten a drink that is already cold. Just make ice cubes that are really, really sweet. Pop them into your cold drink and let the sweet melt into it. Love it! (This little trick works great for the times when you make iced-tea.)
Items Needed:
- 2 cups of hot water
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 ice tray
Directions:
Pour two cups of hot water in a bowl. You can microwave, boil, or run from sink.
Add one cup of sugar.
Stir until dissolved.
Pour sweetened water into ice cube trays. Freeze.
This is how the sweetened water looks when frozen (on left). Just put one into your cold drink to sweeten it. You can still add regular ice if you are like me and love a full glass of ice. It works perfectly!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea 🙂
Thank you…
Wow this really is a great idea. I always want to try to make my own iced tea rather than buying the Crystal Light but I suck (frankly) at sweetening things. 🙂 I have to try this when I get home tonight.
Hi Krissy. This is definitely one of my favorite do-it-yourself items. It makes it so much easier to sweeten cold drinks.
Well this is a great idea. Although I love eating ice would probably just eat the ice…lol.
Thank you! I love eating ice, too.
What a brilliant idea. I love it.
Thank you, Bintu!
This is so simple but brilliant!
Thank you!
