You know me Im not the most domesticated person in the world:rolleyes: so I turn to my gurus for advice.

I was amazed and amused when out with friends this weekend to have a cold Baileys. :eek: It was mostly down to the little square lumpy things that were bobbing around in the drink. I discussed this with my friends and they reliable informed me that the lumpy things were frozen water:confused::confused: So before I go ahead and look stupid by asking for a recipe can I ask you all a question?

Can you freeze water:beer:

Thanks you
Nels xx

    You know, I've heard it's possible. There's even talk of being able to make it into fancy shapes but I think that's just showing off.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    I don't think you can - the only thing you can freeze, with any certainty, is milk :D:p

    they are more for asthetic effect - if an OS'er used them they are basically showing off!

    The lumps can be bought from the shops, but that's not very MSE. I haven't had call to make them myself, as the baileys doesn't usually stay in the galss long enough to warrant it, so can't pass on a recipe unfortunately :D

    I think the best thing to do is to buy them off the internet. You can have frozen water sent to you from Alaska by UPS . . .
