Floral Ice Cubes

by Gavin Trimble

You can spice up any glass (we’ve used our hexagon shaped geometric glasses) by adorning it with a handful of edible flower ice cubes.

Ice Cubes with flowers

Ingredients:

  • Fresh Pansies
  • Rosemary
  • Chopped Raspberries
  • Dried Hibiscus Petals
  • Fresh Mint Leaves
  • Blueberries

Equipment:

  • You will need:
  • 2 ice cube trays

Preparation:

  • Carefully wash your selection of flowers and herbs and blot dry.
  • Pour cooled and distilled water into 2 ice cube trays, filling only halfway.
  • Place either a herb or a flower into each of the ice cubes and transfer to a freezer. Let freeze for a couple hours until solid, then top with more distilled water, until the ice cube trays are full.
  • Push the flowers or herbs down into the ice cube if they float up. Ensure the water completely covers all herbs or flowers.
  • Return to freezer until completely frozen
