  3. Put your cream into an ice pot and cover it.

  4. Immerse the ice pot in the ice mixture and draw salt around the pot.

  5. After a few minutes, stir the cream with a spoon, moving the ice from the edges to the center.

  6. Ensure there are holes in the bucket to drain water as the ice melts.
