TikTok Is Obsessed With Aesthetic Ice Cubes—Make Your Own With These Trays and Molds

Forget fancy kitchen gadgets. You know, the ones you use once and then collect dust for the next decade. (Looking at you, spiralizer. Wherever you are … ) Instead, we're seconding TikTok's latest obsession: Aesthetic ice cube trays. Why settle for boring ice when you can just as easily make heart-shaped ice or adorable mini spheres?

Here's betting your cold brew will taste ‌this much‌ better with tulip-shaped ice. Your 5:00 p.m. beverage of choice will sip smoother with a monogrammed cube too. So go ahead, give your ice maker a rest.

Scroll on for fun ice cube trays that make everyday ice an elevated experience.

Consider jazzing up your beverages with these super simple ice recipes.

‌Fruit Ice Cubes:‌ Wash and cut the fruit of your choice into small pieces that fit into the ice cube tray you're using. Use as little or as much fruit as you'd like; the more you include, the more impactful the flavor will be. Any fruit would work, but the more colorful, the better. (Think: Strawberries, oranges, kiwis, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple.) Add water, then freeze.

‌Matcha Ice Cubes:‌ Mix matcha powder and water well, either in a blender or by shaking in a jar. Transfer immediately into your ice cube tray. Once the cubes are frozen solid, add a few to a cup, then top with your milk of choice and any sweeteners you may like.

‌Coffee Ice Cubes:‌ Simply pour cooled brewed coffee into ice cube trays, and then freeze for three to four hours. When you're ready for a hit of caffeine, add your coffee cubes to a glass or mug, then top with your go-to milk, any sweeter and stir.

Cool down your summertime sips with this set of flower-shaped ice cube molds. Each set comes with three trays, and six different flowers (including daisies and tulips) on each tray.

The silicone is fairly thin though, so you'll need a steady hand as you walk them to the freezer. And here you thought lemonade couldn't be any sweeter …

We've all been there, trying to jam giant ice cubes into our small-mouthed water bottles. No more!
