Why spend money on a commercial ice pack when you can make one at home in minutes?
You Will Need
- Water
- Rubbing alcohol
- A freezer safe, resealable plastic bag
Step 1: Mix liquids
Mix three parts water to one part rubbing alcohol, which keeps the water from freezing into a sold block.
Step 2: Pour into plastic bag
Pour into a sturdy, resealable, freezer-safe plastic bag and seal it carefully.
Step 3: Freeze it
Pop it in your freezer for at least an hour before using.
Avoid freezer burn by wrapping the ice pack in a towel before holding it against your skin.
Step 4: Reuse
Pop it back in the freezer for future use.
Many football teams keep ice tubs on hand to treat players who develop heatstroke.
