Maybe I should have left them in longerthan two minutes (the recipe doesn't say how long to leave them in thefreezer so I just kind of guessed) but mine came out all watery. I won'tbe making these again."

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Does one need special water for this recipe?
Noz Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 See! The people on other forums are just as crazy as the cowboys.
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Could this be a "Drivel" thread???

Rock Hound Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 On a serious note, my girlfriend's father made these ice spheres with distilled water for use in whiskey. They melted really slowly and the perfectly clear ice balls looked neat in the amber whiskey.
Lazarus Longshot, SASS #44254 Life Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Does one need special water for this recipe?It calls for Tap water, so I guess you have to have a tap dancer fix the recipe.
FriscoCounty Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Does one need special water for this recipe? Like good beer, you can use bottled water, or draft water you have on tap. It is a matter of choice and local taste. I wouldn't recommend canned water. I personally prefer cold filtered water for my ice.
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 1, 2014 Author Posted January 1, 2014 Firstly, I must start out by mentioning to any owners of petdragons, especially the mother of dragons, this is a horrible thing tofeed them. I almost had to rush mine to the vet, but unfortunately myinsurance does not cover 'mythical creatures'. When asked to see thedragons, I told them they were too tired, and they automatically assume Iwas lying. Just in case you're wondering, my insurance, not many peoplehave it. It is suppose to be the greatest insurance that ever is, andwill be. But I did not come here to complain about insurance, did I?This 'ice' is insanely difficult to make. The daunting task offreezing water. Mind you, obtaining a freezer is tough work, too. Notlong after I set off on my journey for the one freezer to freeze themall, I bump nto a big, blue, police box. Out of nowhere, I walk the sameroute every day, and all of a sudden, I look like I just ran smack intosome 1960's show. Not moments after that, a very tall, yet younglooking fellow, stepped out and apologized. Said he came here byaccident, and wanted to know if I had seen any rather strange activity.He seemed like an excited fellow, said he was looking for Clara. I onlyknew of one Clara, my neighbor, but again, irrelevant. I told him no,when a buzzing noise emitted from his pocket. He pulled it out, ran offand shouted "Geronimo!!" The lunatics you run into these days. Anyway, Ifinally made it to my local wal-mart. Seeing how I've never owned afreezer before, I must've asked 5 people before I got someone who wasn'told, and spoke english. I told them I wanted to make ice, and theysuddenly started speaking to me rather slowly. It was annoying, butchances are I wasn't going to find another guy like him anytime soon, soI endured. He asked if I have a refrigerator. When I told him I did, heexplained there is a freezer on the top of every refrigerator. I feltlike an idiot, and left the store, seeing how it was pointless topurchase something I obviously already have. As I left, I turned a fewcorners to see a man in a black overcoat and jumped off a building. I'mnot sure who he is, but I overheard a man crying out "THAT MAN WAS MYONLY FRIEND." If that was true, then I feel sorry for the man. As Icontinued walking, I passed by a creepy looking statue. It didn't looklike other statues, and yet, it did. I kept walking, but felt like I wasbeing watched. I Finally got back home, and was greeted by my dragons,Potter and Voldemort. I feel like they don't like each other, and one ofthem doesn't have a nose. I keep meaning to get help for him, butagain, my insurance company is run by a bunch of idiots.If you find yourself in the middle of the desert for days, with noaccess to water, how is one suppose to make this, exactly? Even at home,nearly 70 attempts, before I finally got the water to stop movingbefore putting it in the freezer, and don't ask me how, I just did it,ok. 2 hours and 2 minutes? I can wait that long. So I did. At least, Itried to. There was ongoing noise outside, and on the news there were abunch of people going crazy, I mean blowing up a football field, really?I flipped the channel. Apparently, more people, going crazy, including aman dressed up in red, white, and blue, a man in an iron suit, a guyI'm sure all the ladies dig, with a big hammer, and an enormously biggreen rage monster. I could of sworn I didn't clean my room today,because I got high.Finally, after 2 grueling hours and 2 minutes later, my ice wasready. At least, I thought. Just then, the same man who came out of thepolice box I saw earlier, burst into my house, shut the door, andintroduced himself as 'The Doctor'. I didn't know anyone was sick.He looked around the house, and after looking displeased, he told me'Don't blink'. I have a disease that causes me to be unable to do so,so I told him, and he left. Not even so much as a goodbye, rude.Anyway, after I FINALLY got to pull my ice out of the freezer, itwas stone cold and insanely hard to chew. I threw this monster of acreation out my window, and decided after a long day, it was time forbed. I had attempted to search for my weekly bottle of rum, to bedisappointed once more. Empty. Again. Why is the rum always gone? Inaddition, not long after throwing this 'ice' out the window, I could'vesworn I heard a guy shout "MY LEG!"This is an awful thing to make for people. how can you enjoy it? Andwhat's this talk I hear about something called 'ice cream'? Eh, nothanks.Even Chef Gordon Ramsay himself would yell "ITS RAW" in anger and disapproval.PS: My other neighbor, whom I have yet to learn his name, really hasto stop calling me in the middle of the night. I don't know who hethinks I am, butt I am most certainly not his 'preciousssssssssss'.
Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Me thinks this dragon poerson had somethign special in his recipie.
Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 You can also boil the water prior to puttin it in the freezer to get clear cubes.
