This brand is ridiculous, but…
Crystal clear ice cubes look great in a drink, and are far more difficult to make than “filling a 50-cent plastic tray with tap water and throwing it in the freezer”. The author of the article seems to avoid pointing this out.

- SDGT 12y agoI make clear ice cubes two ways. 1. Boil water twice beforehand 2. Strap a vibrating "toy" to the tray and put it on a solid flat surface in the freezer. Neither of these solutions ended up costing me more than $20 to make as many ice cubes as I can fit. The hardest part is finding ice cube trays that don't suck.
- logfromblammo 12y agoYou can even use a silicone molded ice tray to make crystal clear ice in interesting shapes. I recall seeing Death Star shaped ice somewhere out there on the Internet.
