At our wedding, we made special large cubes for the punch bowl and froze rose petals in it. You can use anything non-toxic, on other occasions I have used fruit slices, sprigs of mint, etc. We froze them in a standard plastic margarine container!
A great mold to use for an ice ring to float in a punch bowl, is the plastic container that store bought angel food cake comes in.
To make: mix up some of the punch you will be using, add some fruit like blueberries, grapes, strawberries cut in 1/2 or 1/4's, whatever you like, and fill the plastic form 3/4 full. (The liquid will expand when frozen.) Freeze overnight.
Add to your punch and let float while serving to keep punch cold and look pretty. To get the frozen ring to release from the mold, just run some warm water over the bottom and sides of mold. Works great!
Once you try the above variations, be sure to come back and give a "thumbs up" to the one that worked the best for you. Do you have a better variation? Click here to share it!
