Peachy Muse Tea Cubes
For those of you who are melting like me this Summer, this one’s for you. I go through approximately five dozen ice cubes a day in the summer, and lately I’ve been experimenting with ways to zhuzh up my ice to make it even cooler ;) Turns out, my favorite ice is also my favorite smoking blend, Muse herbal blend. From my bar cart to yours, here’s my recipe for Peachy Muse Cubes. Don’t have peaches? No problem! Use any fresh fruit you like. Raspberries or blackberries are both on my list to try with this recipe. Let the fruit be your muse.
I like to serve these inspired ice cubes with a splash of bourbon for a deconstructed peachy mint julep or mixed with seltzer and lime for a refreshing and hydrating non-alcoholic summer spritz.
