At sea level, pure water boils at 212F/ 100C and freezes at 32F/0C. Use a water bath. It's easy and the traditional method for calibrating thermometers.

Hi. You need a standard. And if it is equipment you need to calibrate you need a humidity indicator or control. If it's a gage you need the thermal expansion rate of the material.

Put thermometer in water with crushed ice. That is 0 degrees.

Put thermometer in boiling water. That is 100 degrees. (Use clean water, at close to sea level, not 1000 m high!)

The proper English word order is "How can I do ...."

Use triple point of Gallium.
This is perhaps the most accurate temperature
anchor around room temperatures (T = 302.9166 K).

Somewhat precisely via ice cubes floating in water, or very precisely via the triple point method -
