Science is AMAZING!Well, when you put it in the freezer, hot water becomes cold water before it becomes ice. So, cold water makes ice cubes FASTER, but there is otherwise no difference in the quality of said cubes. Forgot to make those ice cubes?Hot water when it hits the freezer makes ice faster. Generally every day for a week I make two trays of small ice cubes (with hot water) and then throw them into separate Glad bags and stick in the freezer. This way you don't have to buy a bag of ice at the last minute and always have plenty on hand for unexpected guests. ANSWER:Warm or hot water will make clearer cubes than cool water. If you want clear cubes, use warm water. cool water will have air bubbles in them. UPDATE:Using warm or hot water causes the icecubes to freeze slower, so in theory, it allows the air to leave the water more and form more solid cubes. In fact, if you boil water and get as much of the oxygen out of the water as possible, you are able to make very 'clear' ice cubes with very little imperfections in them (like on the soda commercials with the ice cubes that are perfectly crystal-clear).

CORRECT UPDATE

Yes, warmer water freezes before cold water. It is called the Mpemba Effect. And the reason the ice cube in soda commercials are perfectly clear is because they're made of glass.
