Does anyone know how to make good-looking clear ice cubes? Cocktail books always recommend using purified water, but that can be tricky to get hold of.

I realise it's a lot to do with your water supply (we live in a 'hard-water' area which means our ice-cubes shed horrible little flakes of minerals), but are there tips which suit all water types?

I hate to ruin a perfectly good cocktail with ice that starts to shed little dandruff-esque flakes!
