Floral Ice Cubes

Edible flowers work best. We love rose petals for their romance, but pansies, violets, lavender buds, hibiscus petals, and even chamomile flowers are all lovely choices.

Prefer something more herbal? Fresh mint leaves make a beautiful, fragrant stand-in.

• 1 Dozen roses (or an edible flower of your choice)
• 2" square silicone ice cube trays
• 5 cups distilled water

Prep Time | 20 minutes
Freeze Time | 3 Hours
Ready in | 3 hours 20 minutes

1. Prepare your flower by removing the blossom from the stem.

2. To suspend flowers in the cubes, work in layers. Fill the ice cube tray 1/4 of the way full with the prepared water. Place the blossom facing down into each compartment of the tray.

3. Place in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely.

4. Add more water to fil halfway and freeze completely. Add water to fill and freeze again.

This two-step pour keeps your flowers suspended in the center of the cube instead of floating to the top, so every cube looks intentional and pretty.

1. When your cubes are ready, add them to your ice bucket and fill with your favorite bottles of Domaine Carneros Sparkling Wine!
