Purpose of 中 in 自然の中で


> 自然 **の中で** ゆっくり凍った氷の味を楽しんでください。  
>  Please enjoy the flavour of ice slowly made by nature.

If not sure if I should read this as 'ice made **by** nature' or 'ice made
**in** nature'. The 中 is really confusing me because I normally think of this
as inside/among/throughout, none of which really seem to work well here.




The Japanese verb for 'made' does not appear in your sentence. The word frozen
is (凍｛こお｝る）.

What does 中 mean? Inside/within. What does 中で mean? Occurring inside/within.

自然 and its English counterpart 'nature' can refer to 'a natural environment'.

自然の中 = in nature, 自然の中で = occurring within nature (natural surroundings)

自然の中で凍った = Frozen within natural surroundings (a natural environment).
