1. Ensure all ingredients are completely cooled—warm ingredients will create uneven freezing and texture problems
2. Combine everything in blender and blend for 45 seconds until completely smooth—consistency matters for safe freezing
3. Pour into ice cube trays filling 3/4 full to allow for expansion during freezing process
4. Freeze for at least 4 hours until rock-solid throughout—don’t rush this crucial step
5. Pop out and serve immediately or transfer to freezer storage for extended cooling relief
6. Always supervise first servings to ensure your dog handles the size and texture safely

Notes:

• Always use unseasoned, cooled beef brisket for dog safety
• Amber prefers these completely frozen, but let soften 3-5 minutes for sensitive teeth
• Perfect for extended chewing satisfaction and serious cooling relief

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight freezer containers for up to 3 months
• Don’t leave out—they’ll thaw and lose that satisfying frozen texture
• Portion into daily containers for convenient summer serving
