Total Time: 6 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 6 hrs

Ingredients

• freshly cut fresh edible flower (pansies, violas, violets, marigolds, wallflowers, lobelia, borage flowers and other flowers from fre)
• mineral water or filtered water
• ice cube

Recipe

• 1 cut small, colourful flowers from your garden. some types you might select are: pansies, violas, wallflowers, lobelia, and miniature roses. for larger flowers, simply use the petals instead of the whole flower. you can also use flowers from fresh herbs.
• 2 fill an ice cube tray half full of water. place the tray in the freezer until the water freezes.
• 3 remove the tray from the freezer and place one flower or several petals in each of the individual ice cube cups. top off with enough water to cover the blossoms.
• 4 return the flower-filled ice cube trays to the freezer until the cubes are frozen.
• 5 remove the cubes from the trays and either store in the freezer in zip lock bags or use in beverages straight away.
• 6 some more ideas for these ice cubes: drop them into soups or chilled soups; add to the punch bowl; line a glass salad bowl with them and then serve your salad in the middle; use them to chill wine and champagne in clear coolers -- or just drop them into any cold drink!
