Calories 0.3kcal
Ingredients
- 12 edible flowers such as pansies or violets
- 3 cups distilled water tepid
Instructions
- Fill ice cube molds ⅓ full with water. Freeze 3-4 hours or until frozen.
- Trim stems from flowers. Place a flower in each cavity. Top with water until ⅔ full. Freeze 3-4 hours or until frozen.
- Top with more water. Freeze 3-4 hours until frozen.
- Release from ice molds. Store in freezer-safe ziptop bags.
Notes
Use freshly boiled water that has cooled to a warm temperature. You can also use warm tap water or warm distilled water. Warm water that has been boiled of impurities will result in clearer, more perfect ice. If you skip this step, you can get cloudy ice which would not be ideal when including these pretty blooms! (Some clouding is normal.)
If you use boiling hot water, you risk cooking the flowers to the point that the pigment is released into the water. It will result in blue and purple ice!
