Homemade ice cream in a bag

from www.caboose.com

1 Tbsp. sugar

1/2 c. milk or half and half

1/4 tsp. vanilla

6 Tbsp. rock salt

1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)

1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag

Ice cubes

Fill the large bag half-full of ice and add rock salt.

Seal the bag. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.

Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!

Tips: The 1/2 c. 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.
