Guide
First of all, if you care about ice clarity, the best thing you should do is start with distilled water that you have boiled twice. In our test recipe, we used boiled tap water once and found it worked just as well.
You can spray your clean dry mold with cooking spray for easy removal at the end of the process.
- Place frozen spinach in the bottom of the mold and rinse with hot water.
- Add the carrots and peas and pour more hot water over the mold.
- Freeze 4 hours or until solidified.
To serve, turn the mold upside down under hot water until the ice has loosened.
Cater to your dog somewhere you don’t mind getting wet and a little messy!
Take lots of photos and record videos.
