FLORAL ICE CUBES

MATERIALS

Distilled water. (Distilled water is best because it will create the most transparent ice cubes, but you can also use filtered tap or spring water.)

Edible flowers of your choice.

Ice cube tray (silicone is best).

Fill the ice cube cavities ¼ of the way with water. Freeze.

Take the tray out of the freezer and place the flowers where you’d like. You can moisten the flowers to help them stick to the ice. Freeze again.

Fill the cavities to the top with water and freeze for at least 12 hours or overnight.

Store your ice cubes in the freezer for up to a year.

Some edible flowers will tint your drink as the ice cube melts. Amaranth will colour it pink and hibiscus flowers will infuse it with a deep red.
