Flavoured cubes of ice

Thanks to a friend and reader who suggested this tip for storing fresh herbs , it got me thinking on the need to share cooking tips to help make every day cooking more pleasurable ! Thank you Priya AnandPrasad !

If you don't have easy access to fresh herbs but  love the flavour it imparts to your dish,an easy alternative is to buy them when they are available and freeze them in ice cube trays...and when you do make a sauce or a soup,just add in the required quantity of ice cubes directly to the pan...however if you want to add herbs to an omelet or bread dough etc,it would be wiser to use the dried version instead!
Not just herbs,to flavour a drink instead of just adding ice cubes you can add a slice of lemon to your ice cube tray or a spice like star anise which looks pretty and that in turn will add flavour to your drink of choice...something to think about ! Have fun experimenting ;))
