...and the quest for that perfect lump of ice to go into the gin & tonic goes on.

The Muji ice ball mould (posted a few days ago) has had varying levels of success, with different mixes of water (plain tap, filtered tap, distilled, twice boiled distilled) and methods of freezing (straight in freezer, wrapped in freezer, in cooler bag in freezer).
The speed of freezing is producing cracked ice balls but by placing the Mujis in a cooler bag, the freezing process is slowed enough to result in a solid ball which, while clear towards the outside, is still featuring the spear-like 'air bubble tracks'.
It looks like an Xmas bauble but is in one piece and definitely melts at a far slower rate than your regular ice cube.
Twice boiled distilled water
Why all the fuss? Blame it on a G&T I had in Vegas in January this year at José Andrés' "e" restaurant...
It had a crystal clear ice sphere in it, more than likely produced using one of these... Ice Ball Maker
