‘Tip for drinking ice-cold water (without an ice machine):

Get a big water bottle.

Fill it half way with tap water. Place it leaning diagonally on something in the freezer so there’s no ice at the neck.

When you want water, get it out, fill it up the rest of the way, slosh it about for a few moments and hey presto – super chilled water. Bottle goes back in still half full, ready to go again.’
