Not only is that "ouch," but that could also kill, considering an ice ball would probably be as hard as a typical rock.

instead of boiling or filtering like everyone else says, just use de-ionized (distilled) water. no contaminants to fog the ice.

Yep boiling and filtering the water would make it much clearer I might give it a try like that.

after boiling it, you're supposed to let it cool off after.
