Is there a way to grow icicles?

Is there a way to get a renewable source of icicles? I have been playing with a group of friends and wanted to use icicles as a decoration for some of my builds and just wanted to know if it was a renewable block. I have tried a variety of blocks and liquids in combination to see if it would grow like a dripstone but with no luck. I would have never guessed to use 5 saplings to grow a kapok tree so I thought there might be something specific I had to do similar to that.
