| Recipe - Fairy Nectar with Decorated Glasses |
1. Place fruit into an ice cube tray. Fill with water and freeze. * As you can see from the photo the ice cubes are a bit pink colored. I used frozen berries because the store was out of fresh strawberries and the fresh blueberries, etc. were outrageously priced (this was in November in Colorado). I think the water melted the berries and the juice colored the water. So, if you use frozen berries, make sure they are thawed and rinsed. 2. Decorate your glasses with “fairy dust”. Pour sugar into one bowl and oj into the other. Lay out paper towels. Dip the rim of each glass into the orange juice, next dip the glass into the colored sugar. The sugar dries really hard, reminds me of those rock candy lollipops. *I learned that when you put the glasses the right way up to dry, the juice runs down the side of the glass. To avoid that, place them gently upside down until dry. |
3. Add the ice cubes, pour in orange juice to fill about half way full. * Now this is why is would use no pulp orange juice, the pulp stuck to my ice cubes, didn't look as good as it could! 4. Fill up the rest of the glass with the cherry or cranberry juice, (slowly so you can see the swirl of the lighter red juice swirl into the orange juice) it's makes a pretty good effect. |
5. Decorate straws by taking the center out of silk flowers. punching them with a round paper puncher and threading them over the top of the straw. You can do as many as you like, they really look pretty. |
