  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy, about 30-45 seconds. You should see a uniform, liquid texture with tiny bubbles on the surface.
  4. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if desired, add more ice for a thicker, colder texture, and blend briefly to incorporate.
