O PITCHER-PERFECT ICE
“Borage-filled ice cubes add a lovely
pop of color to a pitcher of water,”
says Winslow. “Plus, the blooms have a very
mild flavor profile, so they’re a great choice
for introducing edible flowers to your guests.”
To do : Fill the wells of an ice cube tray^1 ⁄ 3
of the way with water; freeze. Add 1 edible
organic borage bloom to each well, then
top with water until wells are^2 ⁄ 3 full (to keep
bloom from floating to top); freeze. Fill wells
to the top with water; freeze. At party time,
add cubes to a pitcher and fill with water.
O ICY “BLOOMING” COCKTAILS

them even more enjoyable,” says Winslow.
To do : Fill wells of an ice cube tray halfway with
water. To p with petals of edible flowers (like
organic roses and borage); freeze. Add a few
more edible blooms (like organic nasturtiums
and cornflowers) to wells and fill the rest of the
