My spray rosebush is flowering now! Time to make a batch of rose petal ice cubes. *Warning*!-make sure to use unsprayed rose petals from a trusted source. Florist shop roses are not suitable for culinary purposes. From Gardenista.com. Beautiful addition to a glass of water, iced tea, gin & tonic, etc.

yield 12 or more ice cubes
prep time 10 Min
method Refrigerate/Freeze

Ingredients For rose petal ice cubes

  • filtered water (enough to fill up an ice cube tray)
  • fresh rose petals, culinary grade
  • ice cube tray(s)

How To Make rose petal ice cubes

  • 1
    Pour enough water into an ice tray to fill it *one-third* (1/3) of the way. Freeze.
  • 2
    Place rose petals or whole intact roses + stem (if using spray roses) on top of the ice. Add enough water to fill the tray two-thirds (2/3) of the way and freeze again.

    Special mote from the website regarding tap water vs. filtered or distilled: "When you use tap water to make the ice, you may end up with tiny air bubbles. If you crave perfect crystal-clear cubes, use distilled water or boil and cool tap water before freezing."
