    How to Make Crystal-Clear Ice Cubes

  1. Step 1

    Pour the distilled water into a pan. Boil the water.

  2. Step 2

    Let the water cool.

  3. Step 3

    Boil it again.

  4. Step 4

    Fill your ice tray(s) and put into the freezer.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can use plain old tap water for this, but the results just won't be the same. Distilled water has no minerals; minerals are one of the things that cause cloudy ice cubes.
  • Don't omit the second boil. Boiling gets rid of excess air in the water; air is the other thing that causes cloudy ice cubes.
