Make Crystal Clear Ice: Boil Water Before Freezing!

Do you want to make perfectly clear ice cubes at home? Who doesn't? But there's a trick to getting your ice cubes as crystal clear as can be—boil the water before freezing it! Here's why.

When water is frozen, most of the impurities it contains are trapped inside pockets of air, creating an opaque appearance. When boiled, however, these impurities are released into the boiling water. So, by boiling the water before freezing it, all those tiny particles and impurities will be removed, leaving behind water that is pure and crystal clear when frozen.

To get perfectly clear ice cubes, start by filling a pot with tap water and bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, let the water cool down completely before transferring it to an ice cube tray and placing it in your freezer. The reason for this is that if you freeze the boiling water too quickly, it can cause ice crystals to form, making your cubes cloudy.

The result? Perfectly crystal clear ice cubes every time. From iced coffee to cocktails and mocktails, your drinks will never look better!
