The headline over Jeremy White's Wired magazine article was the first time I'd encountered the term "luxury ice."
Long, detailed, and quite informative story short:
1) Buy Crystal Geyser bottled water
2) Boil it
3) Freeze it immediately in a polystyrene container or cooler with the lid off
4) Thaw to near melting point
5) Cut into cubes
This will yield ice as good as the best luxury ice money can buy, ice to rival that from 100,000-year-old Greenland glaciers sold for a comparative fortune ($100 for six cubes) in the world's most exclusive bars and hotels for practically no cost at all.
The boiling step is the key one to get clear ice cubes, if that's what you want.
ReplyDeleteHope theres no mastodon bits in those pricey glacier cubes 😳
ReplyDeleteOops grammar police, “there are” 😖
ReplyDeleteTam, alas, unlike with Typepad where I could go in and fix typos etc., Blogger fixes published comments as if in amber: they cannot be edited.
