These make a delicious and healthy snack for kids, and a great way for your pooch to cool down in the summer too.

Ingredients

• Watermelon, seedless
• Cantaloupe melon
• Honeydew melon

Instructions

Halve your melons lengthwise, then scoop out and remove the seeds.

Using a melon baller, scoop out the melon into balls. I chose to use the smaller end of a double sided scoop. Don't worry if they don't all come out perfectly round. Many of mine had a flatter side.

Prepare a tray that will fit into your freezer by covering it with parchment or wax paper. Place the melon balls on the tray. Make sure that the aren't touching to prevent them from freezing together.

Allow the melon balls to freeze for at least a couple of hours. And voilà! The most adorable and delicious ice cubes ever.

Now that they're nice and frozen they are ok to touch each other and can be stored in freezer bags.

Now all that's left to do is decide how you will use them. They are an impressive addition to cocktails, as well as many other beverages. I love them in this amazingly refreshing, sparkling spa water.

I simply placed honeydew and cantaloupe melon ball ice cubes into a glass with fresh cucumber slices (the stars). Then I topped it with sparkling water, and garnished it with a sprig of fresh mint for fragrance. It tastes like you are instantly transported to a luxury spa.

I've also used them in my delicious, sugar-free cucumber lemonade. The honeydew melon balls suit this drink perfectly.

Substitutions

I used watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melons. But winter melon (also known as canary melon) and golden honeydew are also great options.
