Is that like regular water ice, but extra based? ๐
My point is that this kind of language padding (by the bbc) cracks me up.
(Yes, I know other kinds of solids are called ice - but they are also not '-based', they just are [and also irrelevant in this context])
Water-based ice, as in, contains impurities but is predominantly water.
