You don’t have to use distilled water but your ice cubes will be very cloudy and they will not be as pretty.

This is a great activity for children too. And they add things like Fruit Loops cereal which actually turns out very pretty. It’s fun to see what the kids decide to use!

I have done this a few times, with filtered water, and the cubes often come out cloudy. Sometimes they don’t, tho, so I can’t account for the difference, as I don’t do anything different. Just guessing.

Just curious. Thanks!
