But finally, we have found out how to make ice go clear! Also we\u2019ve discovered that when the ice goes clear, it doesn&#8217;t melt as quickly! Clear ice is used in ice sculptures so they don&#8217;t melt as quickly and so they look amazing when they are clear. So, here is our first ever how to of many and hope you enjoy it!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You Will Need:<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A straw<\/li><li>A container (any size)<\/li><li>A freezer<\/li><li>Water<\/li><li>Some air (your breath, etc.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> You need to get some normal water. Some people think that to make clear ice you need to use mineral water, but no! It&#8217;s actually the method and how you freeze the ice.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Pour your water in your container. It doesn&#8217;t matter how big or small it is, it works with any amount of water, but we do recommend using only small amounts of water as otherwise it will take a rather long time!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> So now it gets hard. To make the ice clear, you have to run air through the ice as it freezes. If you happen to have access to a massive open topped freezer, a compressed bottle of air and a pump, then you can put all the water in the freezer and turn on the pump and let it freeze. If you don&#8217;t happen to have these things (See, we\u2019re so prepared), you can put the water in a freezer and every 1-5 minutes, blow some air through a straw into the water.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Repeat this process until it freezes. This could take a rather long g time so make sure you are committed to doing it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Once frozen, take out your ice. It should hopefully be clear and now you have made your clear ice!<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article 1: Our Difficulty: 4\/5 So this is one of the things we have been wondering for a long time now.
