Brilio.net - Ice cubes are often the mainstay for cold drink sellers to maintain the freshness of their products. From iced tea to fruit ice, the presence of ice cubes is very important to keep drinks cold and refreshing when served to customers. In addition, ice cubes also play a role in increasing the visual appeal of drinks, making them look more tempting in hot weather.
However, the biggest challenge in using ice cubes for selling is its easy-to-melt nature, especially when outdoors for a long time. Even though it has been stored in a thermos or special container, exposure to hot ambient temperatures can accelerate the melting process. This is certainly an obstacle, because melted ice not only reduces the freshness of the drink, but can also change the taste by making it thinner.
To overcome this problem, many sellers are looking for ways to make ice cubes last longer, such as using high-quality thermoses , adding additional layers of insulation, or adding coolers. However, finding a truly effective solution remains a challenge, especially for those who sell in open spaces with direct sunlight all day long.
In fact, there is a trick that can be done to prevent ice cubes from melting easily at room temperature. A YouTube user Purwanto 11 once revealed it further through one of the uploaded videos. He admitted that he only relied on a simple way to prevent ice cubes from melting even though they were only put in a thermos. Who would have thought, these ice cubes could last longer for a day, you know.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Purwanto 11 on Saturday (25/1), the trick is to store the ice cubes in a crushed condition. However, it should be noted that the ice cubes used must also be in the form of large chunks. Not crystal ice cubes that are often sold in large quantities.

In the video, YouTube user Purwanto 11 uses homemade ice cubes made with plastic. Well, to crush them, you don't need to remove the plastic first. Just tap the ice cubes using a hard, blunt object until they are crushed. Make sure there are no large chunks left, so the ice cubes must be completely crushed and smooth.

Once smooth, then cut the plastic using a knife. Then move the smooth ice cubes to all containers or thermoses. Well, ice cubes stored in a crushed condition like this are considered more durable and do not melt easily.
" Because if the ice cubes are still chunks, not smooth, it will melt easily. If it's smooth like this, it lasts. Why does it last? Because it sticks together, then it solidifies, and doesn't melt easily ," said YouTube Purwanto 11.
