Frozen Flowers for Your Patio Drinks

Now, as a practical matter, the main point of this is visual – how pretty the results. You’ll find yourself reaching for a clear pitcher and clear glasses to show them off. The flavor of the botanicals only comes into play if the ice melts completely, and the flowers float free. That is, of course, why you want to be sure to use only edible flowers, and even then, only blossoms you know have not been sprayed with any harmful chemicals. Which means, not from a commercial florist – there’s no way to know how they were grown.
