Bonus Tip: It Works for More Than Just Butter

You can do the same with:

• Olive oil + herbs – Great for sautéing or roasting.
• Lemon juice or broth – Easy way to add a splash to dishes.
• Tomato paste – Use just a little without opening a whole new can.

What You’ll Need

• Silicone ice cube tray (flexible = easier to remove cubes)
• Small funnel or measuring spoon
• Freezer bag or container for long-term storage
• Labels, if you’re doing different flavors or oils

How to Store

Once frozen solid:

1. Pop the cubes out.
2. Store in a labeled, airtight freezer bag.
3. Use within 3–6 months for best quality.
