3) Put the strainer over the top of the jar.
4) Place a few (3-4) ice cubes in the strainer.
5) Watch what happens!
6) you need particles in the air for this to work - if it's not working light a match and hold in the top of the jar briefly then drop it in. Replace the strainer over the top of the jar
