Ice Ice Baby

Borage, also known as Starflower, is in full bloom in my garden at the moment. I have both the original bright blue as well as a white flower cultivar. This old fashioned herb, thought to bring cheerfulness, comfort of the heart and merriment, is completely edible and can be used in salads, drinks and as cake decorations. It has a cucumber-like flavour and is therefore a good addition to Pimms and G&Ts.

Today I have picked the flowers and placed them in ice cube trays. They will make a fabulous addition to summer drinks.
