Here's a simple, gorgeous, springy detail to add to your next party—edible flowers incapsulated in ice cubes. Its a beautiful burst of color and oh-so-easy to execute. Here's a quick how to:
- Fill ice trays a quarter full with regular distilled water that has been boiled and cooled.
- Add flowers into each space, face-down, then cover with water until half full, then freeze.
- Fill to the top and freeze again.
Add these ice cubes to punch bowls, carafes, ice buckets, glass tumblers and anything else that needs a spot of spring.
HINT: The distilled water is what will give you clear, beautiful ice. Regular tap water will result in air bubbles and a cloudy appearance.
