Flower Ice Cubes
Description
The process involves boiling distilled water and allowing it to cool completely before starting. Clean, dry edible flowers or petals are positioned in ice cube trays filled about one-third with water, and then frozen. Additional layers of water are added in stages, freezing in between, to encapsulate the flowers fully and prevent them from floating or shifting.
This layered freezing technique ensures the flowers are visually centered within each cube, creating an elegant presentation. Distilled water produces clearer ice cubes by minimizing impurities that cause cloudiness.
Flower Ice Cubes enhance the aesthetics of cocktails, iced teas, or sparkling waters, adding a subtle botanical touch that elevates the drinking experience. They can be stored in the freezer until needed, maintaining freshness and appearance.
Ingredients
- edible blossoms make sure they are pesticide free, fresh picked
- distilled water
Instructions
- Boil the distilled water and let cool completely.
- Make sure your flowers or petals are clean and dry.
- Fill the bottom third of each ice cube square with water. Set a flower into each cube, and I recommend alternating some face down and some facing up, because it's hard to predict how they will shift as they freeze. Freeze until firm.
- Remove the silicone tray from the freezer and pour a little more water on top, about another third of the way up. Gently push the flower down if it floats. Put the tray back in the freezer until firm.
- Remove from the freezer again and top off each square with water.
- Freeze until firm, and then use or store in the freezer.
