Here’s what I did. I added some pineapple juice then orange juice to this ice cube tray after taking out the electrolyte cubes in there and rinsing it out. Chopped the top and bottom off an orange, put shallow slits down the side of it and peeled off the peel without the watery parts using my thumbnail. Sliced the orange into wedges then into smaller pieces and put a few in each ice cube tray. Arranged the orange peel on a plate with paper towel to then (hopefully) dry on a windowsill this August to add to potpourri sachets. Then, after the usual mopping up of juice splashed where it shouldn’t have been (down the sink! the cabinets! the floor! damn it!) I carefully placed the ice cube tray in the freezer where it miraculously did not drip onto the freezer walls/floor. Something else beat it to the punch and I have no idea how that happened. The remaining orange wedges went into my cup and it’s goooood.
11/8/24: They’re still good. In water. However it’s really hard to get them out of the ice cube tray, takes a good 20 minutes of waiting, so I think I’ll see about getting some of the silicone trays or something next time
7/10/25: These didn’t last as long in the freezer as I had hoped. They became bitter several months into storage. Not as much of a success as the electrolyte ice cubes
