Prepare your designated rolling surface by brushing a thin, even layer of 1/4 cup additional water onto a clean cutting board. This creates the essential "wet base" for the upcoming rolling pin application, ensuring a superior texture transformation.

Using tongs, meticulously remove the partially defrosted ice cubes from the glass bowl and gently place them onto the prepared wet cutting board. Employ a wooden rolling pin to "roll them out evenly" for approximately 5 minutes, further aiding in their elegant dissolution and quickening the melting process.

Carefully scrape the now flatter, more melted ice cubes from the cutting board and return them to the glass bowl containing the warm water. Stir the mixture once more to re-integrate the elements. Employ a fine-mesh strainer to separate any remaining ice cubes from the liquid, collecting the precious liquid in a small metal pot. Set the strained ice cubes aside for their grand finale.

Place a charming pink pot onto a stove burner and bring 2 cups of hot water to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, gracefully introduce the previously strained liquid from the small metal pot into the pink pot. Stir the combined hot water with a whisk, allowing the elements to fully integrate and reach optimal serving temperature for elevated hydration.
