Of Ices

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare a freezing pot made of pewter to prevent quick congealing.

  2. Mix the juice of fruits, cream, liqueurs, and pounded ice in the pot.

  3. Add coarse sea salt and soda to the mixture.

  4. Stir thoroughly to ensure even mixing and prevent sugar from sinking.

  5. Place the freezing pot in a tub or pail filled with pounded ice.

  6. Allow the mixture to congeal, stirring occasionally for best results.
