Ice Cube Tray Sticks

This ice cube tray is just the right thing for individualists: It makes ice sticks instead of cubes! With their stick shape, these ice sticks look damn cool. Due to their size they cool down your drinks quickly and let the ice melt slowly. This means that your drinks will not get watered down and stay cold longer. Moreover, due to their elongated shape they perfectly fit into highball glasses (like our Gin Tonic Glass Noblesse) or water carafes (like our Absinthe Water Carafe), or fountains.

Ice Cube Tray with lid: The details

The ice cube tray is made of food grade, BPA-free silicone. Due to the soft silicone material the ice cube sticks can be easily removed from the mould. Each ice cube tray also has a lid so that no impurities can get into the ice sticks. In addition, the lid provides more stability, which means less spilling of liquid during transport from the tap to the freezer. The lid also makes it easy to stack the moulds. You can wash the moulds in the dishwasher without any restrictions. Furthermore, each ice tray is truly unique. Because the black and white swirl design is created during the production process. Every tray is unique! Because of their individuality these ice stick trays are also a great gift.

How to make crystal-clear ice sticks:

Making crystal-clear ice cubes or ice sticks is super easy and you will be surprised about the difference. The secret is not to use regular tap water. Because one of the things, that causes the cloudiness of the ice, is dust and extra minerals in the water. Therefore you have to use distilled water, which you can get in any grocery store. In case you are aware of any rumors, it is a myth that distilled water is dangerous for your health. You will not have any problems drinking it, you will only have problems with an intravenous drip of distilled water, but we are bartenders not patients ;-).

If you want to get even clearer ice, then you should boil the distilled water twice before filling it into the mold. Boiling removes air bubbles from the liquid, allowing the water molecules to stick together even harder in the freezer. After boiling the first time, allow the water to cool. Then boil again. Keep the cooling water covered to prevent any dust from collecting on the surface. Make sure that you have let the water cool a bit before pouring it in the tray so that it does not melt the mold. Now cover the mold with the lid. If you follow all the instructions you will get crystal-clear ice cubes. And if you want to have even clearer cubes, check out the procedure shown in the following video. Then you can proudly call yourself an "Ice-Nerd" :-)
