  Freeze this floating ring in stage so decoration don't rise to the top and
  add to a holiday punch bowl. NEVER use real holly; it is poisonous.
  In a 10 inch ring mold, freeze 1/4 inch water until solid. Pour 1/8"
  cluster of 3 cranberries around inner edge of mould and freeze till solid.
  Repeat with second 1/8th inch layer of water and cranberries around outer
  edge of mould; freeze. Repeat water layer; arrange tiny clusters of mint
  and single leaves face down among berry clusters to look like holly.
  Freeze. Using stripper and working from top to bottom, cut 8 evenly spaced
  ridges out of rind of each lemon; cut each lemon into 8 thin rounds. Pour
  1/8 inch water into mould; arrange overlapping lemon slices all around

  mould. Tuck in mint leaves, face down; freeze. Repeat pouring in water;
  arrange ring of cranberries against outer edge of mould and freeze. If
  necessary pour in water to top of mould; freeze. To unmould, dip ring into
  cold water for 30 seconds; invert on plate and unmould. Slide into punch,
  rounded side up. MAKES: 1 ring
