What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the main flavor, natural sweetness, and the juice that becomes the ice.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the mixture and helps keep the ice soft rather than rock-hard when frozen.
The step that matters
Letting the sugar stand with the crushed strawberries. The sugar must dissolve fully into the juice that the berries release. Drawing out the juice this way gives a smoother, more evenly sweetened base for the ice.
