With dry ice or co2. Just freeze them and let the water

Asked in Science
How long does it take 150 ml of water to freeze?
That depends. Ask not: 'How long does it take 150ml of water to
freeze?'
Rather ask: 'How cold is the temperature surrounding the
water?'
and: 'What is the heat conductivity of the vessel containing the
water?'
According to the second law of thermodynamics, an object hotter
than its surroundings will tend to cool and vice versa.
So, the cooler the surrounding temperature, the faster the water
will freeze.

Lakes, and to a lesser degree, rivers, freeze as the ambient

it takes time for the water to assume the surrounding
temperature.

Usually means you have had regular tap water in the cooling

a hole in the cooling system

Asked in Ice Cream
Can you freeze ice box mudslide?
Yes it freezes and becomes unpourable until it fuses. It is
better chilled in the fridge,and mixxed with ice cubes or blended
with ice. This is not pure liquor/alcohol that is why it will
freeze. It somewhat ruins the flavor if you freeze it them pour it
after a temporary thawing. I notice the bottle does not say
refrigerate after opening. When it is warm it is a bit rough
tasting.
