Most of us have flowers growing in the garden deliberately or not. Nasturtiums in particular grow vigorously and will flower until the first frost. We have a small corner of garden where they have sprung up this year. Nasturtiums have a strong peppery taste similar to rocket only with more of a punch. The flowers and leaves are both edible. Have you tried putting them into ice cubes to spice up that bland gin your sipping? 

We have been experimenting with this over the last few days and are so pleased with the results! Be sure to use filtered water for the cubes to ensure a crystal clear cube, allowing you to see the flowers inside. Spice it up further by adding a few small mint leaves or a sprig Rosemary. Check out our results below.  Perfect for this sunny bank holiday. Remember , not every flower is edible so be sure to check which ones are suitable before use.  Cheers! 🍹

   
  

We used spherical cube trays which are readily available to buy online though standard ice cube trays work just fine too ❄️
