I've watched so many tutorials on making clear ice, but your video is by the far the best. Explained very well and easy to follow. Well done!

Actually even if you don't care about how your ice looks, clear icecubes are still way better than cloudy icecubes. Since there's no air bubble inside clear icecubes, they are denser and cooler, which makes them melt slower than normal icecubes, so your drink won't get watered down too quick.

@brunotvrs

8 жыл бұрын

+TaiwanBro 好色龍 I think the water resulting from melting because of the trapped bubbles would stay trapped inside the ice cube. Only the ice in contact with the drink will dillute it when melting... Also, that dillution is linked to the chilling of the drink. So... no melting = no chilling the drink! source: drinks.seriouseats.com/2013/06/cocktail-science-myths-about-ice-big-cubes-are-better-dry-shaking-whiskey-dilution.html

@agestam

8 жыл бұрын

+Bruno Siqueira well... when you serve the drink it accually doesn't matter that much, if you have decent ice to begin with. the melting goes faster the more area the ice have to the drink. that's why one big sphere is the best way to go. how ever, if you are shaking the ice, it's waaaay better to use clear ice. the ice is much harder and wont crush in the shaker. if the ice gets crushed, it ends up diluting the drink alot! happy mixing!

@brunotvrs

8 жыл бұрын

agestam I can agree with the shaking argument, but that same link also says why big spherical ice isn't always good: as you drink it gets exposed to the atmosphere, which makes the ice melt and dilutes the drink without the benefit of chilling it, as it's chilling the air. I guess one could argue that chilling the air makes the drink stay cooler for more time, since it's not gaining as much heat from the atmosphere. I suspect the differences are all too subtle to matter, anyway... Just pour the ice and drink! If it gets too diluted, add more of the drink! Hahahah

I just took mine out of the freezer and it totally worked!!! Thanks :D

I tried this method and it was a total success!

How to make crystal clear ice. Step 1: fill cooler with water. Step 2: empty your freezer to make room for cooler Step 3: Wife finds out you threw away all the frozen food, and hopelessly yell at you for hours. . . . Last step: enjoy your beverage alone, and look at the camera w/ a hollow smile. Because you realize your wife finally left you for good when she got tired of restocking the freezer whenever you have an urge to make fancy ice. just kidding, love your videos ; )

Not only does it help with presentation; larger surface area will mean the ice melts slower. Meaning it keeps your drink cool longer and water it down less as it melts. Good for many refills or drinking slowly.

Thank you so much for showing this technique.

At times cloudy ice can have an off taste to it as well and when it melts you see the impurities in the bottom of the glass . I stopped using my refridgerator ice machine years ago .

Very cool. I wonder if adding a little food coloring to the ice would be out of the question.

Really high quality production all round - great work!

This is so satisfying to watch.

For huge ice balls for scotch - the real simple extention of this method is to use tall insulated stainless steel coffee mug. The difficult part to find one with straight neck. Fill it with water, put in a freezer. Wait a day. Turn over and gently tap over the sink. The top 1/3 - 1/2 will slide out as single block of clear ice. The only trick is not too wait too long - you don't want more than top 1/2 frozen

very cool video, I tried it myself with the expected result, but I have a problem when it comes to cutting the block of ice. After I cut it a bit with a big knife, when I hammer it it never goes right-angled, some parts really go in the bad direction. I have the feeling I'm doing just like you on the video but maybe did I miss some parts. Any help? ;) Thanks!

+DeathlyDiJ It's actually a different concept, ice is transparant, when light enters 1 small ice cube i just goes through and the ice cube stays transparant. When light enters 1 ice cube next to lots of ice cubes the light goes in in a different angle and doesnt go through but keeps on reflecting through all ice cubes, and in the reverse prism of light, the colour is white. that's also the reason why a cube is more clear than a ball as a ball reflects differently.
