Make Floral Ice Cubes

Add beauty to your wedding punch or favorite party drinks with frozen flowers. Using edible, pesticide- and chemical-free flowers is a must.

Rose petals are edible and come in a variety of colors so you can choose ones that will best fit your color scheme. Whichever color you choose, be sure to trim off the bitter white base where the petal attaches to the stem. Wash flowers well before freezing.

To freeze your petals, you can fill an ice cube tray with water and add the petals to each individual cube, but we recommend filling a cookie sheet or other large, shallow container, with water and petals. You can freeze a whole sheet of ice and then break it up into irregular pieces that will look much more interesting in your drink.

Once the water is frozen solid, you can store the whole sheet or break it up and store the frozen pieces.
