How to make ice cream at home?

Did you know milk is also a raw material used in making ice cream! You can make ice cream at home. But you’ll need a friend to help shake and roll the mixture.

You Will Need:

  • a large zip-top bag (4 to 5 litres) a sandwich or small zip-top bag
  • (1 litre)
  • newspaper
  • ice cubes
  • 240 ml whole milk or half-and-half
  • 240 ml coarse salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract or
  • 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup

What to do:

1. Pour the milk, sugar, and flavouring into the small zip-top bag. Seal. Squish the bag to mix.

2. Pour the ice and salt into the large zip top bag

3. Put the small bag into the large bag, Seal the large bag

4. Wrap the large bag in newspaper. Roll it so that the ends can be twisted like a candy wrapper. Then twist the ends closed.

5. Now shake the newspaper. Twist and roll it around. After about 20 minutes, check the ice cream. It should be ready to eat. If not, repeat steps 2 to 5 by adding extra ice and salt and shaking again.

Why did the milk turn to ice cream so quickly? Because heat is taken from the ingredients as the salt helps to melt the ice.
