1. This is good for making individual servings of ice cream to be eaten promptly after making.

2. Mix sugar, milk or half & half, and flavoring in a bowl, then seal it in a quart-sized plastic bag. For this method, if you use chocolate for the flavoring, double it.

3. Take roughly two quarts of ice, crushed if possible, and place it into the gallon-sized bag with rock salt (also known as coarse salt). Ideally, the gallon bag will be roughly half full with the ice and salt mixture.

 4. Place the sealed quart-sized bag with the ingredients into the gallon-sized bag. Make sure the bags stay sealed. Do not allow the contents to mix at any time. If the bags don't seal sufficiently, use duct tape to seal the top of both bags to ensure they don't open during shaking.

5. Gently agitate, massage, and shake the bags for about fifteen to twenty minutes. In this amount of time the contents of the quart bag should start to turn into solid ice cream. It is important that you are mixing the contents of the inner bag, but you don’t want to be so aggressive that you burst the inner bag or cut it on the ice. Double-bagging should prevent this. If your hands get uncomfortably cold, use a towel or an old t-shirt to hold the bags as you massage them; they will be quite cold and might become slippery with accumulated condensation. Consider using gloves or massaging while holding onto the top seal if a towel or similar cloth is not available.

6. Then once you are done, enjoy your ice cream.

It's easy, right??
Okay, now I would like to tell you a "sneak peak" for the next post...
You will be able to make ice cream (in similar way with this one), but using something around you... (I believe all of you ever have it).
You are curious, aren't you??
Come on, hit it...
ciao, thanks for your coming, it's my pleasure...

1. This method works best with a custard-based recipe, because the result will be much smoother. Since it involves a good bit of waiting, however, it may not be the most immediately gratifying for kids.

2. Pour the ice cream mixture into a deep baking dish, or bowl made of plastic, stainless steel or something durable in the freezer.
 3. Put it in the freezer for 20 minutes.
4. Check the mixture. When it starts to freeze at the edges, take it out and stir it vigorously with a spatula until all the ice crystals are broken up. If you can, use a whisk or a hand-held mixer.
5. Check and stir every 30 minutes until the mixture turns into ice cream. This might take 2-3 hours.

Don't have enough time to stir it again and again??
Try to make it by FREEZER BAG METHOD that shown in the next post...
Thanks!

Tired of trying ice creams from outer world??
Let's try to make it by own!!!
You may choose the category first : simple, colorful, or maybe you can choose your custom category.
This article will cover several different methods for making ice cream at home. This is also a great activity to do with children of any age and makes for a good activity when learning about the states of matter - it shows a liquid changing to a solid by freezing, and then while they're eating it, the solid changes back to a liquid by melting. 


These are the materials :  salt, ice, milk, and sugar. You can also add flour (cornstarch recommended) so your ice cream will not freeze strangely and become very much solid.

Still curios about it??
There are thousands way to make it.
Several method will appear in the next post.
Don't miss it!


Ciao for now, Irena...
