THERE'S nothing worse than reaching into the freezer for your ice cube tray only to realise it's empty.

And with another heatwave approaching, nothing beats an ice cold drink to cool you down.

Luckily, one man has revealed the correct way to use your ice cube trays – and it means you won't run out of ice anytime soon.

Posting to TikTok, Archie Wilde, from the UK, revealed that we've all been using our ice cube trays wrong.

Instead of filling it up and using the ice cubes straight from the tray – Archie reveals a better method.

And it means you won't have to wait hours for your ice cubes to freeze.

Instead, Archie reveals you can put the ice cubes in a freezer bag after they've been formed.

This way you will have a stash ready to go at all times.

"Been living life 15 cubes at a time for too long," he captioned the video.

Archie said: "It has genuinely taken a national heatwave for me to figure out that once you've frozen a tray of ice you can just put them in a bag."
