What each ingredient does

Sweet cider
Provides the liquid and flavor that freezes into the frappe's sweet, icy body.
Crushed ice
Chills the can so the cider freezes gradually into a smooth, slushy texture.
Salt
Lowers the freezing point of the ice so it stays cold enough to freeze the cider.

The step that matters

Freeze until it has a sherbet-like consistency. Freezing too briefly leaves the cider watery, while over-freezing makes it hard and icy. Stirring or checking as it thickens helps it reach a smooth, scoopable texture.
