Here's a fun Recipe in Bloom- Flower Filled Ice Cubes!
Here’s a fun Recipe in Bloom- Flower Filled Ice Cubes!

Flowers on Ice (cubes and ball)   #Recipe in Bloom                                                                                          K

I’ve featured ice cubes with petals on other episodes – it’s a fun way to dress up any beverage. But let’s take that to another level. Have you seen these giant ice cube molds? This one creates a large round cube and I thought it would be great to encase an entire boom within…

Get the entire Recipe- and directions here- (COMING SOON!)

Helpful hint- Use Distilled water- as it will FREEZE clear- and not get cloudy!

Fill an ice cube tray with about a 1/4 inch of distilled water…

Starting the process with only a layer of water to freeze the flowers in place is key to success!
Starting the process with only a layer of water to freeze the flowers in place is key to success!

Place flowers – (Use organic edible flowers- you want to be sure they are safe to consume and won’t add any pesticide or unwanted toxins to your cocktail or beverage)- face down into the water- you don’t want so much water that the flowers are floating! You simple want the weight of the flower to push the face into the small amount of water- in the tray!

Freeze the flowers and small amount of water for about 3 hours… in a regular freezer…

In the mean time- place your distilled water into the refrigerator to get it nice and cold…

After the flowers and small amount of water has frozen- get your COLD Distilled water ready- then pull out the ice cube tray and immediately fill  it with cold distilled water- and return it promptly and without delay to the freezer again…

Having the distilled water cold- will prevent it from melting the ice- and loosening your flowers- you want the frozen water to hold them in place for the second freezing…

Flower Filled Ice Cubes is a perfect way to spark up our Life in Bloom!
Flower Filled Ice Cubes is a perfect way to spark up our Life in Bloom!

Allow to freeze for several hours – even overnight- then you can take out the ice cubes and place them in a container or zip lock bag- in the freezer for you next Flower cocktail hour or party! You can make dozens if you’re having a big party- but it’s a good idea to keep them in the freezer until you want to place them into the beverages- the flowers will stay vibrant and colorful for about 3 weeks in the freezer! ENJOY!
