Della Robbia Ice Ring

Submitted by Nat Da Brat

"Start the day before by freezing 1" of liquid in the ice ring pan. Making the wreath takes about 15-20 minutes. Then another several hours to freeze the second layer of liquid. The wreath will last in the freezer for a day or two before the mint leaves wilt."
