Instructions

- Add the ice cubes and a pinch of fine sea salt.
- Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until smooth.
- Check the consistency and blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional coconut milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
