When you're serving drinks—whether it's lavender lemonade, sparkling water, or something stronger—there’s one easy way to instantly impress your guests: edible flower ice cubes. They’re stunning, surprisingly simple to make, and add a touch of floral elegance to any gathering.
At The Flower Food Company, we believe that everyday moments deserve a little beauty. That’s why we love using our dried lavender buds, rose petals, and chamomile flowers to create ice cubes that don’t just chill your drink—they elevate it.
Why Use Dried Flowers in Ice Cubes?
Fresh flowers may wilt or brown, but dried edible flowers retain their shape, color, and fragrance beautifully, especially when frozen. Here are a few reasons to love them:
- 💐 They’re gorgeous – Add instant color and charm to any glass.
- 🍋 They subtly infuse flavor – Lavender and chamomile bring calming floral notes, while rose adds a delicate sweetness.
- 🧊 They make any drink feel special – Perfect for brunch, showers, garden parties, or just treating yourself.
Which Edible Flowers Work Best?
From our curated collection, we recommend:
- Dried Rose Petals – For a soft, romantic touch
- Dried Lavender Buds – For a calming aroma and a pop of purple
- Dried Chamomile Flowers – For golden charm and delicate citrus notes
How to Make Floral Ice Cubes
It’s easier than you think! All you need is water, a silicone ice tray, and your favorite dried flowers from our shop.
Here’s how:
- Boil water and let it cool (this makes the ice cubes clear).
- Sprinkle a few dried petals or buds into each section of an ice cube tray.
- Fill tray halfway with cooled water and freeze for 1–2 hours.
- Top off each cube with more water to cover the flowers fully, then freeze again until solid.
✨ Pro tip: Use floral ice cubes in lemonades, cocktails, iced teas, or sparkling water for a subtle infusion and serious wow factor.
