Something’s brewing. I will refine this title and description once I figure it out.

What to do when it’s really cold outside, like -15°C? Make frozen bubbles!
This was a learning experience. Regular bubble solution isn’t ideal for frozen bubbles. The special recipe includes sugar and corn syrup which makes the bubbles more durable. The solution works best when it is close to freezing. Place your bubbles on a frozen surface and hope there’s no breeze at all or the bubbles keep breaking. A straw gives more control making the bubbles than a regular bubble wand. Once the bubble has formed freezing starts to take place quickly so as soon as the bubble is formed pick up your phone. By the time you get ready the freezing may already have advanced too far leaving an overall dull surface. Partly frozen gives better patterns. My straw, or plastic tube, got frozen several times and needed warming to clear it. My biggest issue was seeing when I was in focus!
By the time I was done I had used most of a cup of bubble potion and what was left was mostly frozen.
