    If you use these in cocktails, a very big part of the presentation is that the cubes are perfectly clear, giving a very interesting look to the drink

    Making clear ice at home is quite tedious, and not just a simple “put water in a mold and done” job

      The fact that people demand crystal clear ice for no other reason than “it just looks better”, is really a perfect symbolisation of the decadence of our dying civilisation.

        You basically need to freeze the water in a partially insulated container and never let it fully freeze into a solid block

        There are a bunch of videos that show you how to do it

          I thought it was mainly about it freezind from the bottom and the crud migrates up but I have not seen the thing in awhile.
