3. Freezing Grapes as Ice Cubes

Instead of watering down your drink with regular ice, try freezing grapes. They keep your drink cold without dilution and double as a healthy snack when thawed slightly.

4. Use a Wooden Spoon to Prevent Boiling Over

Next time your pot threatens to boil over, place a wooden spoon across the top. The spoon breaks the bubbles and prevents messes on your stove. Such a simple trick, yet so effective.
