How To Make An Ice Bowl - cooking recipe

Ingredients

ice
water
fresh edible flowers or citrus slices

Preparation

Place ice cubes over the bottom of a 2 1/2 or 3 quart bowl.
Center a 1 1/2 or 1 quart bowl on top of the ice cubes.
Weigh down the smaller bowl with more ice cubes or a can of frozen juice.
Place freezer tape across both bowls to hold them in place.
Using a wooden skewer, tuck herbs, flowers, or citrus (or a mix) between ice cubes.
Pour cold water between bowls until the water is about 2in. from the bottom and freeze. Add another inch of water and freeze again, and repeat until water is about 1/2in. below the rim.
Remove tape from sides of bowls, and ice cubes or juice from smaller bowl. Fill smaller bowl with warm, not hot water and let stand for 1-2 minutes.
Carefully lift smaller bowl out of the larger bowl. Then dip the larger bowl into warm water and remove from the ice bowl.
Immediately use ice bowl for shrimp, dips, or fresh fruits.
