Ice-Ball Flavour It -- Water Bottle with Ice-Ball Maker

This is a distorted photo of the cup -- Blogger squished this pic.

Folks, this is the final Adnart excitement. I've already shared my two other BFF's -- the Modern Press ("my coffee making cup) and the Flavour It water bottle designed with a built-in infuser for customizing fruit/vegetable/herb waters. 

This one, similar to the Flavour It, works in a different, even more unique way. It's the cup I go to when I want a minor infusing of my water. And as always, I'm going to show you how it works! This one is called "Ice Ball Flavour It."


Here is the non-distorted photo of the lovely

Ice-Ball Flavour It is a pretty travel-friendly, glass bottle with a silicone fruit ice-ball maker.

Now, here's how this awesome baby works...

The lid is on in this photo. Through the clear lid you can see the little hanger for pulling up and removing the stopper that has the drinking slot.


This photo shows all the "pieces" with Ice-Ball Flavour it. It has the bottle, lid, blue freezer ball and the "cork thingy," which is the second blue item besides the ball. In the photo above this photo, you can see that this piece goes down into the bottle, like a lid -- the blue end with holes in it is inside the bottle. And on the top, as you see in the photo above this one, you have a metal pull-tab and a slot for drinking. 

 1. Place a slice of fruit in the ball, put the two pieces of the ball together, fill the hole in the ball with water. Freeze it.

2. Add water or your favorite beverage to the glass water bottle.

3. Once the fruit ball maker has frozen, pop it out of the silicone ball (very easy since the ball is flexible.) and place the fruit ball into the bottle.

4. Put on stopper/lid and drink.

Here are the pieces up-close. As you can see, the "stopper" with holes is there to allow the infused beverage to come through (for drinking) while holding the frozen ball of fruit in the drink. In other words, the frozen fruit ball won't slide down your throat unexpectedly.
Here's a close-up of the ball (the lid behind it). You can see how easily it fits together, making it easy to fill and take apart.


There are a lot of fun ways you can use the Ice-Ball Flavour It to infuse and flavor your own water. As shown on the box, the slices of strawberries really make a delicious strawberry infused water!

I mentioned in my post on the Flavour It that it came with a recipe booklet titles "How to Make Naturally Flavored Water." That is a handy booklet as it contains a variety of recipes you can try and experiement with. 

I've used a sprig of mint + strawberry slices in my Ice-Ball Flavour It as well as grapes. You can use cucumber slices (one of my favorites), mango, cucumber melon, water melon, cantaloupe, etc. Adding mango, water melon and cucumber melon are the ones I'm dying to try next. They are no doubt going to taste delicious.

You've got the one freezer ball. However, I found that you could use the ball to freeze your fruit, add it to the water and keep the water stored in the freezer, then use your ball again to freeze more fruit. After you've gotten ever how many balls of frozen fruit you want, you take the bottle from the freezer and let it thaw. Delicious! It tastes great as it's thawing and satisfies my craving for a fruity slushie drink.

Since the Ice-Ball Flavour it bottle comes with that "stopper thingy," you could also choose to use your ice-ball fruit, and just toss a few more slices of fruit into the actual water for more flavor. The "stopper" will prevent you from getting any large chunks of fruit, so that's not a concern.


Specs:
Ice-Ball Flavour It  is a glass bottle. The lid, like the Infuse It bottle, is clear glass with a silicone rim. The ball for freezing is silicone. Silicone and glass are both some of the safest materials we can use.  Flavour It comes in this lovely blue color, yellow, orange or white.
