Chef's Notes
It has been stated that ice-filtering will not work for stocks that don't contain gelatin and to a certain extent this is true. Some vegetable stocks I have made, did work using the above method. However, some have not. To guarantee perfect ice filtering for vegetable based stocks, add the stock to a pan and add 0.2% agar-agar (2g per litre of stock). Bring to a simmer (agar dissolves @ 85C) Pour into a container, cool and freeze, then defrost through muslin as above, but you need to defrost it in the fridge, rather than at room temperature.
