When I pulled out the ice tray to make a whiskey lemonade over the weekend, I couldn't help but notice that the ice had a cloudy white spot in the middle of it. This prompted me to ask: why is it that some ice I buy at the store is crystal-clear, but the frozen cubes at home in my freezer appear murky and white in the center?
Ice cubes develop cloudiness when water is frozen quickly.

The Summer is heating up and there is no better way to cool down than with a refreshing, cold drink.

Currently I have only two trays which is problematic for entertaining, so I asked you to help me expand my collection of ice cube trays.

With summer on its way I thought I'd share with you one of my most simple tips. If you love a glass of iced coffee, but hate when it gets all watery, then do yourself a favor and make coffee ice cubes.
