Ice. It’s the MVP of cold water. You drop a few cubes in, and boom—instant arctic bliss. But here’s the surprising fact: clear ice melts slower than cloudy ice.
Cloudy ice has trapped air bubbles, which act like tiny little coats keeping the cold in. Clear ice is denser, so it sticks around longer—like a clingy friend at a party. If you want to be a water temperature snob, boil your water twice before freezing it. You’ll get ice so clear you can read a newspaper through it.
