Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are the highly evolved descendants of 1{\ }{≤}{\ }M<8{\ }{M&sun;} main sequence stars. They lose mass at a high rate, and through the so-called post-AGB phase evolve into planetary nebulae. The outflowing matter creates a dusty molecular circumstellar envelope, in which both water ice and water vapour may be present. The water ice and vapour may be studied using their near infrared 3 μ m features. Current research on these features is discussed, with a particular emphasis on how they may be used to study the ice formation process and the structure of the ice formation region around (post-)AGB stars.
