How to make an icebowl
Try this simple process for making an impressive ice centerpiece for your next party.
2 bowls
distilled water
Take one 6 quart bowl and one 3 quart bowl. Fill the larger bowl 1/2 way up with DISTILLED water. Put the smaller bowl inside the other bowl and tape it down with freezer tape. Let it stick up a little above the bigger bowl. Take some fresh flowers and arrange them around the sides along with some greenery. Freeze the bowl for 2 days. Take out and let sit until you can remove the bowls.
You have a perfect ice bowl very clear and beautifully decorated. You can put sherbet in it, or even some shrimp. Place the bowl on a silver tray, that has sides to catch the water as it melts.
Place a few paper towels on it and then place a decorative doily on top of that.
The icebowl will last about two hours at room temperature; make sure to drain off melting water periodically.
If the bowl doesn't melt completely, you can replace it in the large bowl, top with smaller bowl and pour in water to fill. Freeze as before.
