why is homemade ice different from other ice?

Question

Any time I’ve ever made ice at home the ice cubes are opaque – this is the case in different houses. But ice I get in restaurants, cafes and bars the cubes are always clear.
Anyone know the reason?

Answer 1

The opaqueness is from minerals in the water because at home you just use water from the tap. If you want clear cubes you can use distilled or filtered water.
