4 cups cold water
⅞ cup white sugar

Tips:

  • Use filtered or distilled water: This will help to ensure that your ice cubes are clear and free of impurities.
  • Boil the water first: This will help to remove any dissolved gases from the water, which can make the ice cubes cloudy.
  • Cool the water quickly: The faster you cool the water, the smaller the ice crystals will be and the clearer the ice cubes will be.
  • Use a covered container: This will help to prevent the water from evaporating and concentrating the impurities.
  • Freeze the water slowly: The slower the water freezes, the larger the ice crystals will be and the cloudier the ice cubes will be.
  • Store the ice cubes in a freezer-safe container: This will help to prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods in the freezer.

Conclusion:

Making water ice is a simple process that can be done at home with just a few basic ingredients. By following these tips, you can make clear, refreshing ice cubes that are perfect for your favorite drinks.
