Iced Water Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Delicately place ice cubes in a tall glass, as not to break them.
  • Shake glass from side to side as to allow the ice to settle in the bottom of the glass.
  • Evenly fill the glass with the water. You will notice a cracking noise (this is normal).
  • Wait about one minute for ice to chill the water.
  • In the meantime rinse the lime and cut into wedges.
  • Make an incision on the inside of one wedge and place over the side of the glass. Or just place a few lime wedges directly inside the glass if you prefer.
  • If you have a flexi-straw, use one or just enjoy as is.
  • Let the Chillin' begin!

    There are just too may ingredients for my cooking skills and allotted time.
    I'm going to try it without the lime and see if it still turns out okay.

    I have a very special meal to make for Mr. Breezy's upcoming birthday -- I'm going to give this one a shot. Do you think I need to serve it with anything else?

    Samatwood, I really wouldn't advise using any imported ice, it tends to melt faster than American ice, not to mention the ice you get from China...loaded with lead so beware!

    I had doubts, but I went out on a limb and tried making this with the dehydrated water packets. WOW, it was great! What insite, I may even try a sprig of mint next time. Using the powdered water is so convenient when your on the go. Use Key limes for extra flavor. Thanks for sharing!

    What a great recipe! I used to make it when I was younger but lost the recipe. Is there a health food section in which this could also be included?

    I tried your great recipe, but I substituted the craziest things instead of the lime-ORANGE slices and LEMON slices. I know, it sounds a bit crazy, but trust me, I walk on the WILD SIDE!

    I am so glad my recipe is getting around, and that many of you are enjoying it. I got it from my grandmother who used to make it for me on hot days. I would beg and beg but she always refused to give me the recipe! One day I finaly figured it out, by just watching. This one is a gem! Feel free to share it along!

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My Iced Water looks nothing like the one in the picture. It looks blue. My girlfriend says it's my cobalt glasses, but I keep telling her, she's crazy.
