Bellflower ice-cubes

by mimithorisson

I am particularly fond of bellflowers. These pretty purple blue flowers can be used for culinary purposes to garnish dishes and to serve as edible flowers in salads. When I was decorating my garden cake (see garden cake post), the bellflowers were so beautiful that I had to do something more with them. I thought of making ice-cubes and was amazed by the result – the cubes looked like little jewels. Now my freezer drawers look like the ones in jewelry stores!

Ingredients:

Organic Bellflowers (Campanula)
Ice-cube mold
Water

Place flowers in each ice-cube mold, fill with water and place in freezer until frozen.

Voilà!
