Large round ice used in bars and the like. The slow melting gives a relaxing effect as if it slows down the speed of time.

I found an item "Round Ice Diamond Cut" that makes it easy to make this ball-shaped ice at home at the 100-yen shop Ceria.


An ice tray that can make four ball-shaped ice cubes at a time. It is a 2-piece set of tray and lid.


Easy to make. First, fill the tray with water and insert the lid from above.



At this time, excess water spouts out from a small hole in the lid. It is safe to work in the sink as it scatters. Push it in until the water runs out. On the other hand, if there is no water at all, the amount is insufficient and you should add it.


After that, throw away the water collected in the lid and go to the freezer. Be careful to keep it level and freeze it.



Take it out after about 6 hours, and you'll have a stylish diamond-cut ball-shaped ice cube! It's frozen to the inside. * The time required depends on the condition inside the refrigerator.

If it is difficult to remove it from the tray, pour water or lukewarm water on it. If you try to force it out, it may crack.




Of course, when you drink whiskey or other alcoholic beverages, it is hard to dissolve and lasts a long time, so you can use it for any drink in hot weather. If you are in trouble, why don't you try using ordinary ice that melts in a blink of an eye and the taste diminishes?
