Organic rose petals embedded in ice cubes will add a festive note to any punch bowl. Fill an ice-cube tray halfway with water and freeze. Place an organic rose petal on each cube, anchor with a teaspoon of water and freeze again. Then fill the tray completely with water, and freeze until needed.
You can store several dozen rose cubes in a large plastic bag in the freezer to bring back fond memories of summer’s fragrant blooms during the dreary fall and cold winter months. Use these ice cubes while entertaining in your evening ‘cocktails’ at parties for an added topic of conversation and celebration (recipes for non-alcoholic mocktails available in betweenclosefriends.com under the ‘Recipe’ category.)
