To Prepare Ice for Icing
Ingredients
Directions
Break the ice into small pieces and mix in the salt.
In the coldest part of the house, place the ice and salt in a bucket.
Put your cream into an ice pot and cover it.
Immerse the ice pot in the ice mixture and draw salt around the pot.
After a few minutes, stir the cream with a spoon, moving the ice from the edges to the center.
Ensure there are holes in the bucket to drain water as the ice melts.
