  No. You need to freeze in in an insulated container with only one side exposed so it all freezes in 1 direction. Impurities get pushed to the opposite side and you are left with clear ice.

    There are so many dumb as shit comments in this thread about agitating and boiling and purifying water and you’ve got the actual answer, thank you.

      You’ve really got your knickers in a twist over this. Is this something deeply personal to you?

      Calling people “dumb as shit” cause they have different methods than yours is wildly arrogant, and doing is so incessantly touches on mental illness.

        I had a few bourbons last night and over-commented to be sure. Mea culpa. I spent quite a lot of time learning to make clear ice and I had to navigate all of this BS to get to the easy solution.

        As a critique of your comment, I didn’t resort to ad hominem I was talking about the comments themselves.

        At the same time, there’s a little bit of pot and kettle action going on here which is not lost on me.

        Have a great day.

      There are more ways than 1 to do it. Yours is not the only way of doing it. Though it is the most inexpensive.

    This is the answer. Directional freezing creates clear ice.
