FRESH FLOWER/HERB BLOSSOM ICE CUBES FOR SUMMERTIME ENTERTAINING
Dress up your drinks with these beautiful and romantic ice cubes featuring blossoms from the garden! Perfect for summer afternoon parties or cocktail events! Pink or red rose petals will enhance any drink, and can also be sprinkled on the table and over desserts for a romantic effect. Or, use fresh herbs. Flowers and leaves that are suitable include: scented geraniums, nasturtiums, violets, rose petals, pansies, lavender, basil, chive/leek/onion/garlic blossoms, borage flowers, and most flowers from edible herbs (e.g. basil, oregano, thyme). Note: Boiling the water before freezing will ensure that the ice cubes are crystal clear.

Steps:
- Gather and gently rinse all of your pesticide-free blossoms.
- Boil water for 2 minutes for all the air trapped in the water to escape. Then leave to cool till room temperature. This will ensure that the ice cubes are crystal clear.
- Place each blossom at the base of each individual compartment within an ice tray (or more trays if you have a large party).
- Fill each compartment half full with the cooled boiled water and freeze.
- After the water is frozen solid, fill each ice cube compartment the rest of the way to the top with the remaining boiled water.
- Refreeze and allow it to remain in the freezer until you are ready to use them (store in the freezer in zip lock bags).
- NOTE: You can also freeze a large ice ring for the punch bowl, with a variety of blossoms. Don't use the glass punchbowl or it will expand and burst in the freezer. Instead, use a ring-shaped cake tin and fill it with flowers and water. Follow the same procedure as above (filling halfway, then freezing), but you can add additional blossoms to the second layer so that the blossoms are throughout the large ice ring.
- Use the ice cubes in pitchers or glasses of lemonade, iced tea, juices, punches and cocktails.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat mix all ingredients together and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Refrigerate 4 hours or until well chilled.
- Strain mixture and pour into an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
- Note: I read Rita's review of another Lavender Sorbet and learned that she used ice cubes to create the sorbet. You can try that here if you like, reducing the water by half and chilling the cooked mixture. Then add ice cubes and blend. Add more cubes if you think it needs it. If you try this method please let me know so I can give more accurate directions. Thanks!
