How long do flower ice cubes last?

Flower ice cubes will last a very long time, it is ice after all! But for best results they will last approx. 2 months in the freezer before ice crystals start to form and they absorb your freezer's odours.

Can you use dried flowers in ice cubes?

Yes, dried flowers work great in ice cubes. Just make sure the flowers are edible and have not been sprayed with pesticides.

How do you get ice cubes to be clear?

Make sure to use distilled, pure water to get clear ice cubes. Tap water can have minerals and impurities which can cause cloudy ice. You want to boil the water, twice! After the first boil let the water cool and come to room temperature. Then, boil again and let the water slightly cool before pouring into trays.

What flowers can I use in ice cubes?

As long as you are using edible flowers that have not been sprayed with pesticides then it's safe to add to them to your ice cubes. Flowering herbs work great and also have a lovely hit of flavour as well as lavender, violets, and roses. See the blog post for more ideas to make beautiful ice cubes.
