Ice Cream in a Bag

Allie has a band trip coming up. She and her buddies like to make tasty treats for consumption in their hotel room. One year it was sandwiches of all sorts. This year, the food of choice is ice cream made in a bag. Allie is looking forward to haunting the ice machine in hotel!

Here's the recipe they are using this year:

Ice Cream in a Bag

What you'll need:
· 1 tablespoon sugar
· 1/2 cup milk or half & half
· 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
· 6 tablespoons rock salt
· 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)
· 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
· Ice cubes

How to make it:
1. Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
2. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.
3. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.
4. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.
5. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!

Tips:
A 1/2 cup milk will make about 1 scoop of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more.
