Ingredients

Recipe instructions

  1. Water Preparation: Begin by ensuring your water is clean and filtered for the best-tasting ice cubes. If your tap water doesn't taste great on its own, your ice cubes won't either.
  2. Ice Cube Tray Selection: Choose a clean ice cube tray. Silicone trays are excellent for easy removal, but any tray will work. Carefully pour water into each compartment of the ice cube tray, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
  3. Leveling the Tray: Gently tap the filled tray on the counter to remove any air bubbles and ensure the water is level in each compartment.
  4. Freezing: Place the tray in the freezer and let it freeze completely. This typically takes a few hours.
  5. Removing the Ice Cubes: Once the ice cubes are fully frozen, remove the tray from the freezer. To release the ice cubes, twist or tap the tray gently.
  6. Storage: Transfer the ice cubes to a clean, airtight container if you don't plan to use them immediately. This prevents them from absorbing any unwanted odors from the freezer.

Enjoy, add these crystal-clear ice cubes to your drinks and savor the simple joy of a perfectly chilled beverage.
