There is not one way to make any dish except a glass of tap water.

Do you put the ice in the glass first or add afterwards?

You do add ice don't you?

I do put ice in it before. That way the water is cooled off immediately. But making those ice cubes almost had me beat until I saw the recipe for them quite a while back.

 

[FrankZ]

Some times I put them in first, some times after. We don't make ice from scratch anymore though.

I don't have an ice maker. I wish I did. I love to chew on ice cubes. I would be eating them for every meal if I did.

You might want to have your hemoglobin/hematocrit levels checked. Craving ice can be a sign of anemia.

Are you kidding? I still haven't found raw ice so I can make it.

I've read that you should lightly sauté it before freezing to bring out some flavor.

I have to confess, I cannot get it right at home so I have resorted to buying the prepackaged stuff at the supermarket. I know, I know, it will never taste as good as homemade but it's better than nothing. Don't judge me.

I don't know. That recipe didn't get good reviews.

 

[GotGarlic]

I don't know. That recipe didn't get good reviews.

Hm. I thought four stars was pretty good.

 

[Andy M.]

Hm. I thought four stars was pretty good.

I read the actual reviews below the recipe and two of the three shown were really negative. I think I'll stick with store-bought.
