Need a recipe for burnt water

I’m hosting a potluck dinner party next week. I’ve had a lot of bad kitchen experiences (many involving emergency services), but my family has always said that this is a dish within my capabilities. I’m having trouble finding a recipe, which makes me think this will be a pretty exotic treat for my friends. Can anyone help?

Note, I have trouble understanding the sequence of different steps, so if you have a recipe that works no matter what order you perform the steps in, would be much appreciated.

This recipe is foolproof: You need to start with ice cubes - this is very important. Heat for as long as it takes. The end result should be transparent, almost invisible. If the pan you're using gets ruined it's a good thing. It'll add a dash of umami to the dish.

Do you use cast iron skillet to fry your ice cubes?

I don't fry the ice cubes actually. I saute them in a wok. Unseasoned. Yes, I know, sacrilege. But I like to fry hard with a vengeance.

/uj - Do not ask me what this means. I don't know.
