Floral Ice Cubes DIY
As the days get warmer, there's nothing quite like a refreshing cool glass of water. And what better way to quench your thirst than to spice up your ice with some bright florals? That's what we did as a special Memorial Day Weekend DIY. We chose an array of tropical petals, but this weekend you could add red, white and blue pansies to wow any BBQ guests. Color coordinate your flowers for any hosting occasion!
Materials:
- Silicone ice tray
- Pruning scissors
- Distilled water (boil and let cool)
- Edible flowers grown in your garden (list of edible flowers here)
- In a pinch, edible flowers from the herb section of Whole Foods
Directions:
- Fill ice cube tray half way (we recommend using a silicone ice cube tray so petals are not damaged in removal process)
- Add first layer of florals, facing the flowers down so they can easily be seen
- Pour water over florals and leave space at the top for the second layer
- Layer in more petals and flowers to the top of the ice cube tray
- Freeze overnight
- Enjoy a delightful glass of lemonade, water or cocktail with a lovely spread of dazzling floral ice cubes
