Pour the chickpeas into a sieve set over a bowl, straining off the gloopy cooking juices.
Put the chickpeas into a processor or blender along with the lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. Give the tahini a good stir and then add that, too, with the water and ice cubes.
Whizz until the mixture is really smooth and the ice has completely melted. Taste and season with a good pinch of salt.
The hummus will keep in the fridge for 4 days in a jar or covered bowl.
