A few quick notes
1. Plan the chilling step
Read the chilling step before deciding when to start. Make room in the fridge and use the time and sequence in the recipe, so that part does not catch you by surprise.
2. Leave room for the cooling step

3. Get the blending equipment ready
There is a blending step in this method. Set up the appliance called for and follow its instructions along with the recipe, including any cooling or handling directions before blending.
