Instructions
Make your own ice cubes
- I have molded ice cubes in all shapes and sizes. I prefer to use the large round bulbs. You can fill it with pieces of fruit or vegetables.
- To fill them up I made a mixture of water with orange juice and the ginger concentrate. The amount depends on the number of ice cubes you want to make...
- In each bulb I put either orange slices, mandarin or strips of peel. Then I filled them with the mixture and put them in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
How to make the mocktail
- Place the orange juice, honey, star anise and thyme in a cooking pot and heat over low heat for 5 minutes. Let this mixture cool and pour through a sieve.
- Add the ginger concentrate. Here I worked with the "Gili elexir", available via the online webshop of www.bonappetit.be
- Let it cool. Serve the glasses with the homemade ice cubes the juice and a sprig of thyme.
