Tips & Secrets
- Using unglazed clay pots is mandatory for achieving the traditional professional-grade cooling and earthy flavor.
- Ensure the milk is reduced properly; a watery base will result in professional-grade ice crystals.
- Constant stirring is the absolute secret to preventing the professional-grade milk solids from sticking and browning.
- Seal the pots tightly to prevent the entry of professional-grade air which causes freezer burn.
