This is inspired by my daughter who reminded me of the old days when everyone knew the simple recipe to homemade ice cubes. Such an easy way to save money by not buying 'store bought' ice cubes, and allowing us to have our own 'free range' ice cubes, straight from our favorite faucets. July 6th, 2011. July 2018 recipe update. Always remember to use clean ice cube trays. Finding dark things in your ice cubes is quite disturbing. Wash your hands with soap and water before handling individual ice cubes.
