It is necessary
- - ice molds;
- - kettle or saucepan;
- - water filter;
- - food colorings.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the water. Regular tap water will work too, but it can be either too hard, chlorinated, or have some other disadvantages that prevent the formation of clear ice. Buy bottled water from a trusted source. She, most likely, has already gone through all the necessary procedures, so she just needs to be frozen.
Step 2
However, bottled water of the right quality is not always available for sale. Pour tap water into the kettle. It is better if it is a modern electric one, since scale does not form in it. If you only have a kettle at hand that needs to be heated on the stove, remove the limescale. You can also use a clean saucepan. Boil water. Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature.
Step 3
Bottled water from a reliable manufacturer does not need to be filtered. With a tap, you just need to do this. Filters are different, in this case it is more convenient one that looks like a kettle. Pour water into a container, let it stand for a while, and then gradually pour it into another container. In this case, water passes through a membrane filter, on which all unnecessary substances remain. You can make the filter yourself. Take the funnel. Place a small piece of gauze in there to cover the spout. Place a piece of cotton wool or filter paper on top. Pour water over a homemade filter. He will delay all unnecessary things no worse than the purchased one.
Step 4
Pour boiled and filtered water into the molds. Place in the freezer. If you want colored ice, add some bright food coloring. The color must be in harmony with the color of the drink, otherwise all work will go down the drain. After freezing the ice, serve it with your drink.
