Clear ice is a topic of speculation and a myth these days. If you do a quick google search, you will see what we mean. Let's lay these myths to rest.

The key to making clear ice is carefully controlling how the water is freezing. In nature you can see clear ice forming at the top of ponds, this is because of a controlled freezing process. The bottom and edges of the pond are being insulated by the earth so that water is freezing only from top-to-bottom. This results in a clear ice at the top and any air bubbles and impurities being pushed to the bottom as they are the last to freeze.
