Flower And Champagne Popsicles
Perfect for your spring or just about any occasion, really. These fresh and unique popsicles are exploding with champagne and edible flowers. Aside from the fact that they are pretty to look at, they’re tasty as well.
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 1 Bottle of Champagne
- 1 oz. of edible flow
Steps
- Mix 1/4 cup of water with 3/4 cup of sugar using a small saucepan. Warm it over a medium flame while consistently stirring until all the sugar has been dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Let your mixture or syrup cool a little bit, and then add one bottle of champagne while mixing adequately to combine. Chill the champagne first so you won’t have to lose all the bubbles. You can put it on a bucket of ice before opening it.
- Divide your edible flowers and put some on the popsicle molds but do not overfill them.
- Measure your champagne syrup. You should have 3 1/2 cups.
- Divide your syrup among the popsicles.
- Add some popsicle sticks and move your edible flowers around so they will look like they are dispersed.
- Freeze your champagne pops for about 8 to 10 hours before you serve them.
Glazed Floral Donuts

- Blood orange glaze
- Edible Flowers
Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
