  "notes": "-   **Grinding the mastic:** Add a bit of sugar to the mastic granules and crush them with a mortar and pestle. You want a fine, powdery consistency, not a sticky mess. Adding sugar while crushing is key to making sure they don't stick. If they form a thin sticky layer at the bottom, separate them with your fingers, as you would when sprinkling a pinch of sugar by hand.\n-   **Ice cream maker:** Leave the ice cream maker's tub in the freezer for a day before making the ice cream, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Also, make sure you turn the machine on before pouring in the mixture from step #5, per the manufacturer's instructions.",
