Homemade Ice Cream In a Bag

This is a personal favorite of mine. You can do this with your children or by yourself:D.

What you will need:

• 1 Tbsp Sugar
• 1/2 c. Milk or Half & Half
• 1/4 Tsp. Vanilla
• 6 Tbsp rock salt
• 1 pint-sized plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)
• 1 gallon-sized plastic food storage bag
• Ice cubes

How to make it:

1. Fill the large bag half full of ice, and the rock salt. Seal the bag.
2. Put the milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.
3. Place the small bag inside of the large bag, seal the large bag again carefully.
4. Shake until the mixture is Ice Cream, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
5. Wipe of the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!

Tip:

• A 1/2 cup of Milk will make about a scoop of ice cream, so double the Ice Cream if you want more. But don't increase the portions more than that - it will weigh to much for the kids to pick up and successfully shake it up.
