Add the ice-cold liquid 1/3 to your pitcher.

Place your lye pitcher into the sink. Fill your sink with enough cold water and ice to about 3/4 the level of the milk in the pitcher. If you add too much water, your pitcher will start to float and may tip over. As you add more milk and the lye to the pitcher, you can add a bit more water and ice to the sink if need be.

SLOWLY add a bit of the lye to the liquid. As it starts to dissolve, it will start to heat up. Stir the solution gently.

Wait.

Wait a bit more.

Wait a bit more until the solution cools back down a bit. You don't want the solution to get much more than about 120 degrees F to avoid the risk of unpleasant smells from burning.

Add a bit more lye. Stir. Wait.

Repeat, adding a bit more lye into the solution at a time, but never enough to cause the liquid to heat up too much or too fast. As the liquid starts to heat up, add a bit of the slushy or frozen liquid to the pitcher to help cool it down if it gets too active. (Use the spoon to lower the frozen liquid so you don't splash the lye solution.)
