Making your own floral ice cubes are a beautiful addition to any summer wedding, picnic, baby shower, or family and friend gathering. Not only do they add the perfect touch, they are easy and fun to make as well!

You can add these floral ice cubes to a bucket to keep your wine or champagne bottles chilled. Or, use edible flowers and add them to your cocktails, mocktails or sparkling water for a fun and easy way to elevate your beverages.

Materials Needed

Only four things are needed to create your own beautiful floral ice cubes – an ice cube tray, florals, water, and scissors.

• Ice cube trays – feel free to use any shape you prefer! Just be mindful you will want to avoid the very small ice cube trays as this will make it nearly impossible to see the flowers within the ice.
• Florals – I purchased my florals from the local grocery store as I used my ice cubes to keep our wine bottles chilled. However, feel free to use edible flowers if you plan to use the ice cubes within beverages.
• Water – use distilled water to help prevent cloudiness.
• Scissors – feel free to use kitchen scissors or garden shears depending on the thickness of the stem.

Steps to Create Your Own Beautiful Floral Ice Cubes

1. Bring a pot of distilled water to a rolling boil for 5-10 minutes. This will help reduce the cloudiness to ensure a clear floral ice cube.
2. Pour the water within the ice trays, filling 3/4 full.
3. If you are planning to make edible flower cubes, be sure to thoroughly rinse your flowers, being mindful so you don’t damage the blooms.
4. Add the flowers to the ice cube trays, pairing the flowers together how you prefer. Trim the stems shorter if needed so they fit within the tray.
5. Freeze the ice cubes until solid, preferably overnight. Enjoy!

Edible Floral Ice Cube Combinations

Looking for both delicious and beautiful floral combinations to use within your beverages? Try freezing a variety of herbs and florals within your ice cubes! Mint, basil, dill and rosemary add the perfect flavor and color. Simply combine them with a variety of edible flowers such lavender, borage, calendula, and chamomile for a beautiful and tasty combination. Enjoy!
