DIRECTIONS¶

1. Chop the cranberries (mix-in), and soak them overnight in the fridge, covered in alcohol.
2. Zest and juice the lime, mix with syrup and alcohol.
3. Add "wet" ingredients to empty Creami tub.
4. Weigh and mix dry ingredients, easiest by adding to a jar with a secure lid and shaking vigorously.
5. Pour into the tub and QUICKLY use an immersion blender on full speed to homogenize everything.
6. Let blender run until thickeners are properly hydrated, up to 1-2 min. Or blend again after waiting that time.
7. Add remaining ingredients (to the MAX line) and stir with a spoon.
8. Put on the lid, freeze for 24h, then spin as usual. Flatten any humps before that.
9. Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
10. Process with MIX-IN after adding mix-ins evenly. For that, add partial amounts into a hole going down to the bottom, and fold the ice cream over, building pockets of mix-ins.
