How Do You Make a Cup of Ice?

Published in Freezing Water 1 min read

You can make a cup of ice by freezing water in a cup. Here's a simple method:

Steps to Make a Cup of Ice:

  1. Get a Paper Cup: A small paper cup works well, but you can use other freezer-safe cups as well.
  2. Fill with Water: Fill the cup about three-quarters full with potable water. Leaving space prevents overflow as water expands when it freezes.
  3. Place in Freezer: Put the cup in a freezer. Ensure the cup is stable to prevent spills.
  4. Freeze Solid: Allow the water to freeze completely. This usually takes several hours, depending on the freezer's temperature. Check after a few hours to ensure it's solid.
  5. Remove from Freezer: Once frozen solid, take the cup out of the freezer.
  6. Peel the Cup: To expose the ice, gently peel the paper cup away from the ice, starting from the bottom. You might need to tear or roll the paper to get the ice out.
