What each ingredient does

Mulberries
Provide the main flavour and colour, with natural sweetness and tartness.
Sugar
Sweetens the ice and lowers the freezing point, keeping it softer when frozen.

The step that matters

Pass the mixture through a fine sieve again. A second straining removes remaining seeds and fibres, which would otherwise give the frozen ice a gritty texture.
