YouTuber Chris Ratzlaff, from Calgary in Canada, has created a cool (no pun intended) video showing a bubble freeze within a few seconds.

The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign in or subscribe to access the full content.

On his YouTube channel, Chris explains that he’s somewhat of an ice bubble connoisseur. He also revealed the secret recipe to creating the perfect ice bubble: 200 milliliters (7 fluid ounces) of warm water, 35 milliliters (1.2 fluid ounces) of corn syrup, the same again of dish soap, two table spoons of sugar and then chill in the freezer. 

Also, there’s no time lapse photography magic going on here, the video is shown in real time.
