There is something truly special about nugget ice that makes a glass of water or soda feel so much better. Many people find the soft, chewable texture much more enjoyable than traditional hard cubes from a standard freezer tray.

Having a dedicated machine at home means you can have this restaurant style ice whenever you want it. It is a simple addition to your kitchen that changes how you drink your daily iced coffee or juice.

Ingredients

  • Fresh filtered water
  • Nugget ice maker machine

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill the water reservoir of your nugget ice maker up to the marked fill line using fresh filtered water.

  2. 2

    Place the ice basket inside the machine and close the lid securely.

  3. 3

    Plug in the machine and press the power button to begin the ice making cycle.

  4. 4

    Wait for the first batch of ice to form and drop into the basket.

  5. 5

    Scoop out the nugget ice as needed and serve it in your favorite cold drinks.

💡 Tips

Use filtered water to keep your ice tasting fresh and to prevent mineral buildup in your machine. Store any extra ice in a freezer safe bag if your basket gets too full, as it stays fresh for several days. Clean your machine every few weeks to keep the ice flavor crisp.
