To make clear ice cubes, use distilled water, boil it, and add it to the ice tray.

why boil it? Distilled water is already cleaned via boiling.

Or do you just mean add it to the tray hot?

It kills the water kind of like cooking blue crabs.

from instructables:

- Boil the water , and than let it cool.
- after it is cool , boil the water again!
explanation :
the double boiling eliminates dissolved air in the water and decomposes minerals in the water

ha!

funny!

lol at all the idiots trying to figure out if boiling affects the clarity

BOILED WATER becomes steam.

Clear Ice Cube = no ice cube

hmm... maybe a joke isn't funny if it needs to be explained.

Uhhh, that's why the OP says use distilled water. Though boiling distilled water is somewhat pointless.

Ice cubes aren't really cubes.

I got 99 problems but cloudy ice cubes ain't one.

Hot water freezes faster, resulting in clear ice cubes?

When there are instructions to bring water to a boil, I generally boil it all of the way to steam too. It helps the spaghetti cook quicker when it's completely evaporated.
