To turn water into ice, you need to subtract Kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When you subtract energy from water molecules, then their kinetic energy become less, therefore, their movement become very slow. Due to this molecules establish interaction with each other and water convert into ice

Summary:

We usually freeze the water at 0 centigrade to solidify, it mean we remove the energy from water.
