CwU #31 Theme - Trendy Ice Cubes
It is time to get creative with water! The Cook with Us team, @chefsteve, @pandamama and @offoodandart, want so see you make some inventive ice cubes to go with your favorite drink. Trendy ice cubes are used in all kinds of drinks from cocktails to juices, iced coffee and teas. Some are made with juice or coffee to color the cube, while others are stuffed with herbs, flowers, vegetables or fruits. Some are special for being crystal clear. Perfectly clear ice is tricky to make, so we hope someone takes on this challenge! Below are some photos to get you inspired.
A HUGE thanks to @curie and @sneaky-ninja for making Season Three happen!

Ok Mr @chefsteve, I'm thinking of a drink that is quite interesting from Indonesia. regarding the post, I want to read it again. I will ask you again.

Great, I don't know a lot about Indonesian food and drinks so I am looking forward to learning from your experience.
hopefully Indonesian food and drinks can be as good as food and drinks throughout the world. I'll try to take part in the contest later
