Smoking water

Post by Bushman »

I do a lot of cold smoking and my son in law told me he read where a person smoked a container of water then made ice cubes for is alcoholic drinks. Never tried it but thought it was just crazy enough to try.

Synopsis for the 2nd author's best method:

wrights liquid smoke is made by a similar method, and is made in 3 flavors these days.

could be something to experiment with or test side by side with smoked ice cubes.
