Tips for Making Floating Four-Leaf Clovers:
- Use fresh clover leaves for the best results. Fresh leaves are more vibrant and will hold their shape better than wilted leaves.
- Make sure the clover leaves are thoroughly clean before using them. Rinse them gently in cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Use a large bowl of water to make it easier to float the clover leaves. Add enough water to the bowl so that the leaves can move around freely.
- Gently place the clover leaves on the surface of the water. Do not press them down or submerge them.
- Let the clover leaves float for at least 15 minutes before adding the other ingredients.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the clover leaves from the water. Be careful not to break the leaves.
- Arrange the clover leaves on a serving platter or in individual bowls.
- Serve the clover leaves with your favorite dipping sauce or dressing.
