Okay, have you ever just looked at a pile of berries and thought, “What on earth can I do with these besides just munching on ‘em?” 😂 I mean, they’re so pretty, and there’s gotta be a way to make them even more fabulous, right?

Main dish photo — *The finished dish — looks amazing, right?*

So, let me tell you about this Floral Berry Infusion I stumbled upon. It’s like, berry magic in a cup, and it’s perfect for those days when you wanna feel fancy without breaking a sweat.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, picture this: I’m at the grocery store, right? And I’m like *the* berry detective. So, grab 2 cups of mixed berries—you want strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and maybe even some blackberries if you’re feeling wild! Then, 4 cups of coconut water—seriously, it’s the secret to the tropical vibe 🌴.

Next, herbal tea! I went with juniper, but honestly, rosemary is a total game-changer too. You’ll need 1 cup, cooled (so, brew it and chill for a sec). A splash of orange juice (1/4 cup) + a bit of zest makes everything pop, and don’t forget a tablespoon of Vegan Gelatin (if you’re into that vibe, obviously). Oh, and a dash of Vanilla Extract—like, who doesn’t love vanilla, right?

Last but not least, some fresh edible flowers to garnish! I found violets, and they look gorgeous. 😂

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, real talk: this recipe is my go-to for summer hangouts. Last week, I had my friends over for a BBQ (and by BBQ, I mean we ordered pizza but pretended to be classy) 🍕. I whipped this up in no time!

We were sitting on the patio, sipping the infusion, and everyone’s faces were just like “What is this sorcery?” I mean, you should’ve seen their reactions when I said it was made with *herbal tea* and *vegan gelatin*! It felt like I was a culinary wizard or something. Plus, it’s super refreshing—especially if you’ve like, been outside all day.

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

So, here’s the deal: when you’re straining the berry juice, *really* press down on those berries! Like, channel your inner berry squasher! 🍓 You wanna extract every drop of that sweet goodness. Trust me, it’s where the magic happens.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Check the gelatin! I once used too much and ended up with a jelly brick. Not cute.
2. Herbal tea? Let it cool! If you pour hot tea into the cold mix, you’ll mess with the setting. Nobody wants soupy jelly!
3. Taste as you go! Seriously, don’t be shy! Adjust the sweetness or add a little more zest if you want a kick.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, so once you cut these cute little cubes, store ‘em in a sealed container in the fridge. They’ll keep for a few days, but honestly? They’re so good, they might disappear faster than you can say “Floral Berry Infusion.” Just saying! 😂

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

You’ll probably wanna try my *Coconut Chia Pudding*—it’s super easy and always a hit! Or how about some *Minty Lemonade*? Perfect for hot days! 🍋
