How do you make clear ice cubes?

Question

Like the ones they use in bars. My friend told me that I should boil bottled water and then put them in the molds. I tried it but they still came out foggy. Is it the freezer or just me?

Answer 1

your friend was right, boil water, then let it cool, then freeze it. if that dosn't work, boil it twice(cool between boilings).

Answer 2

It's the frost in the freezer that does it... they become clear once it comes in contact with a liquid...the only reason the ice at bars are clearer is because they have ice machines...

Answer 4

freeze the water so that the outsides just about frozen but the insides not..

then put the ice cube in a bowl of water and freeze it again

Answer 5

You have to boil distilled water (like the one in bottled water) 2 times to remove as much air bubbles as possible from the water. Then carefully and slowly pour the water in each mold and you should get clear ice cubes. :)

This video tells you how and it is super simple.

Basically filtered water that has been boiled and then cooled down and then boiled again and cooled down. So you do it twice with filtered water and they show the results.
