#Pack your bucket or cooler about half full of ice. Your bucket or cooler should be large enough to hold both bottles of water without them touching each other. It should also be tall enough for the salt and ice water mixture to cover the water in your bottles.<ref>https://www.coolscience.org/instant-freeze-water.html</ref>[[Image:Freeze Water Instantly Step 1 Version 3.jpg|center]]

#*Check if your bucket is large enough by putting both water bottles in it while it’s still empty. You’ll be adding the water bottles after you create the salt and ice water mixture.

#Pour in enough water to allow the ice cubes to move. Slowly add tap water from a sink or faucet. You should add enough so that the ice cubes can move more easily, but they should not float to the surface of the water. You should have more ice than water in your bucket or cooler.<ref>https://www.coolscience.org/instant-freeze-water.html</ref>[[Image: Freeze Water Instantly Step 2 Version 3.jpg|center]]

#Add 2 cups (600 g) of rock salt for every of ice. Mix the rock salt into the ice water slowly using a large spoon or ladle. Mixing should be easy enough with the amount of water that you added to your ice.<ref>https://www.coolscience.org/instant-freeze-water.html</ref>[[Image: Freeze Water Instantly Step 3 Version 3.jpg|center]]

#Place the water bottles carefully in the ice water. Once your mixture is ready, add the water bottles. Make sure they don’t touch each other, which could make them freeze early. You can use all kinds of water: purified, distilled, spring, or deionized. Don’t use glass bottles, which can burst.<ref>https://www.coolscience.org/instant-freeze-water.html</ref>[[Image:Freeze Water Instantly Step 5 Version 3.jpg|center]]

#Tap a water bottle firmly against a hard surface. You can hit the ground, kitchen counter, or table. Ice crystals will form at the top of the bottle and creep down to the bottom. Open the cap of your second water bottle, and it will freeze the same way without being tapped.<ref>https://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/instant-freeze-soda-ice/</ref>[[Image:Freeze Water Instantly Step 7 Version 3.jpg|center]]

*Getting your water bottles to freeze instantly might take a few tries. If your water bottles don't freeze instantly, try adding more salt to your ice water mixture, or cool the water bottles in the mixture for a longer period.
