    Noe that the water can just be tap, and the equipment isn’t super fancy. If the water looks clear, you can make clear ice from it.

    It’s called directional freezing, you stick water in freezer insulated on all sides so that it freezes from the top down instead of outside in.

    If you have larger ice, you’ll see the white stuff is in the middle, the last area to freeze. Directional freezing causes that to be at an end instead of in the center, and you either pull out the ice before the end freezes, ideally, or cut off the end.

    I have an ice mold that doess this and it provides break off points to break the clear ice off the unclear ice.

    It does take a while though and the bulky insulation takes a lot of room in the freezer.
