Let's Start With "Why?"
Why bother with this? Is clear ice really that much better? "Isn't ice already clear?" someone shouts from the back of the room. Just take a look at what your freezer ice maker is churning out. Or what you are demolding from that little rubber sphere mold you got a few years back. Does that ice look like the stuff in the whiskey commercials?
It does not. That cloudy, white stuff in the middle of the ice is a highly concentrated mix of minerals, gasses, and freezer smells dissolved in the water. Now it is frozen in your ice. Not only does it look "meh", it melts faster, and it can affect the taste of your beverage. Mediocre ice is truly the fastest way to downgrade a beautifully constructed cocktail or a perfectly crafted spirit. Because:
1. Looks blah = worse experience
2. Melts fast = dilutes drink
3. Impurities = hurts taste
How Can You Make Clear Ice At Home?
We haven't even touched on additional surface area benefits or how the purity, not just the size, slows the melt, but we're going to assume we all understand that clear ice is amazing and that we must have it. How do you make clear ice at home using the OnTheRocks Ice Box? Easily, that's how. Simply...
1. Fill the water vessel with hot water (hottest your tap will put out).
2. Drop in the tray of your choosing.
3. Let the tray settle / self-equalize and pour off excess water.
4. Place the vessel into the insulated housing and place the whole thing in the freezer.
5. After 18 - 24 hours (freezer dependent), remove the device, and pull the vessel out.
6. Place the vessel upside down in the sink under warm water until it releases. Demold the ice using a butter knife or hammer.
