Chapter 58

Rina placed the ingredients needed for making ice cream on the table, under the watchful eyes of Prince Schuzel and the others. The ingredients included a pot containing the base materials, a large spatula, a large cloth, and heat-resistant gloves.

"Is this pot? The base materials for the ice cream are in the pot, right?"

The Minister of the Magic Department, who seemed a bit more energetic and interested, asked.

"Yes, that's right. The main ingredients are milk, sugar, and eggs."

The basics are those. Depending on preference, you can substitute milk with cream or soy milk, or add egg yolks for a richer or lighter texture.

However, let's start with the basics.

Eventually, I want to try making flavored ice creams with black tea or koukberries.

"Then, I would like to start making the ice cream."

——Clap, clap, clap, clap.

Prince Schuzel's applause echoed.

It looks like you're having fun, Prince Schuzel.

I just want to go home, though...

Rina folded the large cloth into quarters and laid it on the table. She placed the pot, filled with the ice cream base, on top of the cloth to keep it from moving when mixing.

"Um, Mr. Iber and Mr. Taro, could you put on these heat-resistant gloves?"

Rina handed the heat-resistant gloves, mainly used for ovens, to the two men.

"......"

"It's fine to put them on... but why?"

The head butler stared silently at the gloves, while the Minister of the Magic Department asked, perhaps out of curiosity. They might be anxious because they don't know what will happen next and are being asked to wear heat-resistant gloves.

"I will cool the pot with ice magic, so if you touch it with bare hands, you might get frostbite."

Indeed, these two will be responsible for holding the pot.

"Why do we need to hold the pot?"

This time, Iber asked. He was clearly curious.

"Ice cream is made by stirring while cooling. To prevent the pot from moving while stirring, I need you two to hold it down."

"What about me...?"

The very enthusiastic Prince Schuzel asked.

"Can you use ice magic?"

"Yes, of course."

"Then, please slowly cool this pot."

Rina instructed to slowly cool the pot containing the ice cream base. It's important not to freeze it all at once but to do it gradually.

"Is this good?"

As expected of the wisest man in the country. He cooled the pot as instructed, gently and evenly, slightly freezing the edges.

"Yes, that's very good."

But the real challenge is yet to come. She needs to involve King Felix, who is sitting a bit away, relaxing.

Indeed, the only one who can stir is King Felix.

...Excuse me, it looks so interesting, but could you come and help?
