Frozen Water
Ingredients
- 1 gal. water warm
- 1 gal. water cold
- Lukewarm water as needed
Instructions
-
In large bowl, fill 3/4 full with warm tap water.
-
Empty 1/2 of bowl into sink and fill remainder of bowl with cold water.
-
Using saran wrap or cling wrap, cover bowl so it is airtight and place on counter. Allow liquid to become room temperature overnight.
-
Prepare silicone mold tray by cleaning each mold with damp paper towel. Allow tray to dry before putting water in.
-
Once dry, using baster or eye dropper, slowly fill each silicone mold with water until mold is 3/4 full. Note: Be careful not to add too much water to each mold as water will overflow.
-
Set ice chest to 32 degrees F and carefully transfer silicone tray to chest.
-
Gently place tray in the back of chest.
-
Close chest and check every 30 minutes to ensure water has not over-hardened.
-
After 3-4 hours, remove silicone tray from ice chest and place toothpick in center. Toothpick should not be able to penetrate frozen water.
-
Once water is hard, transfer silicone tray to sink.
-
Turn faucet on so water is Luke-warm. Allow slow drizzle of Luke-warm water to release frozen water from silicone molds.
-
Remove each piece of frozen water and transfer to bowl and cover in airtight container.
-
Add 3-4 pieces of frozen water to cup and pour your favorite beverage atop.
-
Transfer any remaining frozen water back to ice chest. Frozen water should keep for up to 1 lifetime.
