How to Make Crushed Ice

Put a full tray of ice (or 10 ice cubes) into a blender and select the "crushed ice" option. If you don't have that particular speed, you'll need to add a quarter cup of water to help before selecting "blend." Note: the recipe for crushed ice is the same for all four recipes.
