2 tablespoons water (addtional if needed)

Directions:

  1. Empty the ice cubes that are left in the trays (if there are any left) into the bin.
  2. Take the trays over to the sink and fill them with cold water.
  3. Place the water filled ice trays back in the freezer.
  4. Replace the ice bin if you had to remove it.
  5. Shut the door to the freezer.

A comment:

This recipe is horrible! Maybe I should have left them in longer than two minutes (the recipe doesn’t say how long to leave them in the freezer so I just kind of guessed) but mine came out all watery. I won’t be making these again.

The Awl offers a primer on this holiday “so that you can get your (ahem) ducks in a row”:

To recognize this special occasion, you need only to slip away from work for a quick shot at a nearby bar. (If you have time to down a beer as well then by all means do so, but it is not a requirement.) It’s fifteen minutes out of your life that will almost certainly be the best part of your day and, to top it off, you’re getting paid for it!
