By Gary and Elsa Petersen-Schepelern

Freeze a selection of fresh juices in an ice cube tray and serve with buttermilk for a delicious breakfast on a hot day. These ice cubes have been made with cranberry juice and strawberry puree.

Ingredients

  • 1 tray of ice cubes made with fruit juices
  • 2 cups buttermilk or low-fat yogurt
  • Sparkling water or club soda (optional)
  • Honey, to taste

Serves 4

Directions
Fill 4 glasses with the fruity ice cubes, add a dollop of buttermilk or yogurt, then top with sparkling water or club soda, if using. Serve honey separately and add to taste.

The ice cubes melt slowly into the drink, so you can top it with more buttermilk or more sparkling water for a long, cool, delicious and filling drink.
