🌲 Important note! 🌲
For an extra magical look, we froze the tiniest pine cones in ice cubes. These are Real pine cones, but we cleaned them thoroughly by blanching them in boiling water for a few seconds before freezing. Please don’t eat them! They’re just for decoration. If you’d prefer to skip this step, regular ice cubes work just as well, ..trust us, you won’t taste the difference :)
