Moms Home made Ice cream


Its early spring and the past few days have been very hot and that is what motivates me to write this new and exciting blog. We all know that summer time is right around the corner and the heat will be turned up high on most days but I have found a sure fire way to help keep myself ,kids , and hopefully you cool during those extremely hot days. This is a product that has been around for a long time and we normally pay for this rendered service; however there is an easy way to produce this item right in the comfort of your kitchen. The unmistakable homemade ice cream, is one of mans greatest invention that has been with us a long time and today I would like to give some simple instructions on how to make this outstandingly delicious treat. When I first made home made ice cream I was in my second year of culinary school and the hand turned churn was the machine of chose to make this treat; however time and methods have changed and I will walk you through a simple and fast way to make ice cream. You will need the following items: One large gallon zip lock bag, one small zip lock bag, ½ cup.cold whole milk, ½ tsp .vanilla flavoring, 1 Tbsp sugar, ice and 6 Tbsp of rock salt. Place all of the milk in the small zip lock bag, add sugar, vanilla and seal bag tightly, fill your gallon zip lock bag half full with ice and add 6 tbls. spoons of rock salt, then place your sealed tight small zip lock bag into the large one, seal the large bag tight removing only some of the air and then shake vigorously for about 5 minutes. Ice cream should start to form and then every one is happy, but the biggest winners in this are the kids because not only do you get to give them a treat but you teach them how to be creative in a surrounding that is conducive to helping them become thinkers, innovators or even tomorrows business owner and just think it started with something as simple as ice cream. I hoped you enjoyed my blog and if you did fill free to leave a comment.
