Sample of juice, baguette and a cool remedy that reduces the strain (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ice bag

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a cool remedy that reduces the strain' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'sample of juice baguette and' is the wordplay.
'sample of' says the answer is hidden in the clue (an extract or sample of the clue).
'ICE-BAG' is hidden in the letters of 'juice baguette and'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ice bag that I've seen before include "Waterproof container" , "Big ace (anag.); cool carrier" , "cooler" , "cold compress" , "Chilled sack applied to swellings, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
