What You Need to Know
The process involves blending ingredients at high speed (around 20,000-30,000 RPM) for a short period of time (around 10-30 seconds), creating a vortex that breaks down the ingredients into a smooth, uniform consistency. The temperature of the ingredients during the blending process is typically around room temperature (around 20-25°C/68-77°F).
