- 2 large fresh oranges
- 1.5 cups pulp-free orange juice
Start by thinly slicing your oranges, then cut each slice into two semicircles. These will be easier to fold into lovely rose shapes.
Gently fold 3-4 orange semicircles into each compartment of a large silicone ice cube tray, layering them to form a beautiful rose pattern. Arrange them until they look just right!
Carefully pour the orange juice into each mold, filling it almost to the top. The juice will freeze around the orange "roses," locking them in place and boosting their flavor.
Place the tray in the freezer for at least 4-5 hours, or even better, let them freeze overnight until they are completely solid.
Once frozen, simply pop out your stunning citrus ice cubes and drop them into your favorite sparkling drink for an instant touch of summer elegance and flavor!
