We do this when we have spent a lot of money and saved a certain amount. But even if we have prepared a special dish, we prepare a little extra and freeze it. If we plan a dessert for X date and store it in the freezer until ready to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> And then there are ice cube trays, which aren\u2019t just for making ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today we take you on a journey to unexplored ways to freeze food that you didn\u2019t expect. For example, did you know that olive oil and its flavors can be frozen? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply add the oil to the ice cube trays and add perfectly cleaned and dried rosemary, thyme and basil and you will have a great seasoning when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are 11 foods that you can freeze at any time, without risk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1) Yogurt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the yogurt of your choice to the ice cube section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use it to complete a perfect fresh fruit smoothie without adding ice. Remember to write the type of yogurt you choose on a label that you stick to the ice cube tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A practical alternative is to prepare yogurt cubes, then remove them and store them in a freezer bag, always with the detailed label. Yogurt to be frozen must be fresh, otherwise it may already be sour. Frozen yogurt cubes are also very suitable as a complement to the preparation of a dessert to prepare in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2) Come<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wine bottles placed on the table for an important dinner are not completely empty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why waste the nectar of the gods? Pour it into the ice cube tray and keep it that way. When needed, it is suitable for cooking without having to open other bottles or for making sangria with lots of fresh fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also use it against colds with mulled wine, cinnamon, apples and cloves. Besides, to make your wine fresh quickly, put the bottle in the freezer for a few minutes and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3) Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coffee can also be frozen. For what purpose, you ask? Well, if you want cold coffee in summer, instead of ice that changes the taste, add coffee to cool it! Even to prepare shaken coffee, instead of ice cubes, a few previously prepared cubes are enough to give your thirst an abundant foam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are used to drinking sweetened coffee, we recommend adding sugar or a sweetener before putting it in the freezer. Moreover, if you put hot coffee in the freezer, nothing will happen to it, but the food nearby may heat up. It would be better to let it cool first and then proceed to freeze it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4) Citron<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this\u2026 the lemon? No, lemon juice. After squeezing it and removing all the seeds, freeze the lemon juice in the ice cube tray. It\u2019s perfect to add to table water for a super thirst-quenching drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is the latest health trend to drink a glass of water and lemon first thing in the morning? Perfect, with a lemon ice cube no need to bother and in the morning we know that we are practically zombies for the first fifteen minutes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5) Dark chocolate<br><\/strong>Anyone who bakes dark chocolate cakes has long known that it is best to keep chocolate in the freezer for a few hours before grating it. Chocolate has a bad habit of melting between your fingers, but once frozen it is easier to grate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there\u2019s another delicious recipe we\u2019re sharing with you today: dark chocolate chips or flakes, almond milk, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Prepare a soft mixture from these ingredients and stir in a bowl over a bain-marie so that the chocolate melts and mixes with the rest. It\u2019s a delicious little dessert but can also be added to a smoothie, hot chocolate or coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6) Strawberries and chocolate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another little treat for demanding palates. Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie. Meanwhile, wash and dry the strawberries well. Pour the chocolate into the ice cream bowl and place a strawberry in it. Cut the strawberries in half if they are very large. These delicious and fascinating jellies will be an exciting surprise for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7) Baby food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moms know that preparing vegetable broth for newborns takes time and patience. But these two things are not always available. Then, just in case, prepare the broth you use most often in larger quantities than usual, for example carrots, potatoes and celery, with or without meat. Mix everything and let cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freeze your homemade \u201cbouillon cube\u201d in ice molds and use as needed, heated in a double boiler, microwaved or poured into water while it boils. The meal is ready in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8) Protein<br><\/strong>How many times have we made a dessert that only required egg yolks? Very often we threw away egg whites. It is a shame that such a valuable, protein-rich food was completely wasted. Next time, mix them up a bit and freeze them in the ice cube tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then take them out and put them in a bag with the specified contents. You will soon see that you can use them to best advantage, for example in light protein pancakes with oatmeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9) Coconut water<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the water in this amazing fruit can be frozen. It is an energy drink that is low in calories but high in electrolytes. It is rich in potassium and is ideal for those who exercise or engage in prolonged effort, especially in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has the valuable property of replenishing fluids lost through sweating, for example. Once frozen in the ice cube tray, it should be used within two months. It is also very suitable as a complement to lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10) Garlic and ginger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of the properties of garlic and ginger appears to be an elixir of longevity.

Ginger, on the other hand, promotes digestion, relieves nausea and vomiting, helps with colds, and relieves joint pain, to name a few. Bringing them together means improving their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then finely chop the garlic and ginger, add a few drops of lemon and freeze. Always have it on hand when you need it for a quick infusion or herbal tea. Drink regularly for fifteen days, an infusion of garlic and ginger strengthens the immune system and prepares for the cold season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>11) Flowers and leaves for cocktails<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You saw them in this trendy place but you didn\u2019t have the courage to ask how?
