Ingredients

24 borage flowers
± 500 ml water, preferably boiled and cooled (it gives clearer ice)

Method

Pick the flowers just before use and pull them out of the calyx.
Fill the compartments of an ice-cube tray a third full with water, put a flower in each and freeze for an hour.
Then top up the compartments and freeze for another 3 hours, so the flowers stay in the middle.
Use them in lemonade, sparkling water with lemon or a summer punch.

Storing: 3 months in a freezer bag.
