- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup half and half or milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup salt The bigger the granules, the better. Kosher or rock salt works best, but table salt is fine.
- Ice cubes enough to fill each gallon-size bag about half full
- 1 pint-size ziplock bag
- 1 gallon-size ziplock bag
Combine the sugar, half and half and vanilla extract in the pint-size bag and seal it tightly.
Place the salt and ice in the gallon-size bag, then place the sealed smaller bag inside as well. Seal the larger bag.
Now shake the bags until the mixture hardens (about 5 minutes). Feel the small bag to determine when it's done.
Take the smaller bag out of the larger one, add mix-ins, and eat the ice cream right out of the bag.
