To enjoy, place 1-2 ice cubes in a mug and pour over hot water for a wonderful drink.

Notes

While we love to enjoy these with a bit of hot water for a nourishing drink, you could also dissolve a few in water for a cool drink.
Keep a batch of these ice cubes in the freezer during cold & flu season!
