Prepare your designated rolling surface by brushing a thin, even layer of the 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.

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 the hot water to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, gracefully introduce the previously strained water from the metal pot into the pink pot. Stir the combined hot water with a whisk, allowing the flavors to meld at a perfect 212°F.

After a few minutes of harmonious simmering, remove the pink pot from the stove. With utmost care, pour the fresh-smelling warm water into two exquisite decorative glasses. Finally, retrieve the ice cubes that were set aside earlier and place two cubes into each glass, completing this elevated hydration experience.
