Floating Four-Leaf Clovers

Instead of using regular ice cubes in Mint Tea Punch, our home economists stayed in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day and prepared these cute clover cubes. They're made with soda so they won't dilute your beverage. They can be made weeks in advance and stored in the freezer.
