Arnold Palmer Ice Cubes

Liven up your summer iced tea game with these Arnold Palmer Ice Cubes!  This sweet tea ice cubes recipe is quick and easy to make and they add a refreshing pop of flavor to a tall glass of tea, lemonade and water.  

Instead of using plain water ice cubes, try adding these Arnold Palmer layered ice cubes to a class of tea (they make the best iced tea), lemonade and even plain water! I make these Arnold Palmer iced tea flavored cubes a lot during the hot summer months.

I drink a lot of iced tea – mostly green and fairly diluted so I don’t get a caffeine jolt. My two favorite flavored ice cubes to add to tea are these Arnold Palmer Ice Cubes and these sweet Summer Peach Ice Cubes.  Flavored ice cubes are fun to make and they’re a great way to help you stay hydrated.

How To Make Arnold Palmer Ice Cubes

1. Prepare basic iced tea recipe and homemade lemonade (you can use store bought lemonade like Simply Lemonade or Newman’s Own if you’re sort on time)

3. Remove trays from freezer and fill the rest of the ice cube tray sections with lemonade and freeze for a bit longer.
4. Add these fun flavored ice cubes to a glass of iced tea, lemonade or water.

How To Make Iced Tea

I’ve used black tea for this ice tea recipe, but you could instead use green tea, herbal tea or decaffeinated tea if you like.

1. Boil water.  Fill saucepan with water and heat to a simmer just before boiling then remove from heat.
2. Tea bags.  Add the tea bags to hot water.  
3. Steep tea. Steep tea for 1-3 minutes.
4. Discard tea bags. Remove tea bags and discard.
5. Refrigerate.  After the tea has cooled to at least room temperature, pour into a glass pitcher and refrigerate.

How To Make Homemade Honey Lemonade

• Lemons.  Pour fresh squeezed lemon juice into a pitcher
• Honey.   Mix honey with water to create a honey simple syrup then blend with lemon juice in pitcher.
• Water.  Add water to the pitcher  to dilute the mixture to your personal preference for sweetness and tartness.  Stir to blend.  
• Refrigerate. Put the pitcher of lemonade in the refrigerate to chill.
