we don't have a machine or half and half, but we have milk, vanilla ice, salt, sugar.
how can we make ice cream?



Answer
You will need rock salt, but you can make ice cream in a plastic freezer storage bag or a coffee can, see info below.

Lots of fun for kids!

What you'll need:

* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1/2 cup milk or half & half
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
* 6 tablespoons rock salt
* 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)
* 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
* Ice cubes

How to make it:

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

Tips:

A 1/2 cup milk will make about 1 scoop of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. But don't increase the proportions more that that -- a large amount might be too big for kids to pick-up because the ice itself is heavy.

What you'll need:

* 2 clean metal cans, both with lids (make one can larger than the second)
* Use the ice cream recipe already given in Ice Cream in a Bag or:
o 1 cup of very cold milk
o 1 cup sugar
o 1 tsp vanilla
o 1 tbs chocolate syrup
* Ice
* Salt

How to make it:

1. Place the ice cream mixture in the smaller coffee can (make sure it's clean) and seal with the lid on tightly.
2. Place the smaller can in the larger can. Pour the ice and salt around the smaller can making sure it is more or less in the center.
3. Seal the larger can with its lid tightly and roll it around for about a half hour. This process works great if you have kids. Let them sit on the floor and roll the can between them. When it's done you'll have a nice container to keep the ice cream in!
