Could you freeze ice in a way that makes it a magnet?

Water is a polar molecule, right? Could we freeze the water into a lattice that mimics the domains of proper magnetic minerals like magnetite?

You have mixed up electric dipoles and magnetic dipoles. It's a pretty common confusion because they both get called dipoles.

Water has a large electric dipole, but little to no magnetic dipole moment. 

Most magnetic materials typically have an unpaired electron in an orbital somewhere. The unpaired electron gives that molecule a magnetic dipole moment. 

It's possible to form a similar material with electric diples that has a permanent electric field. However they are fairly rare.
