Plastic Bag Ice Cream!

AIM: To make ice cream

REQUIREMENTS:

·      1/2 cup milk

·      1/2 teaspoon vanilla

·      1 tablespoon sugar

·      4 cups crushed ice

·      4 tablespoons salt

·      2 medium size Zip-loc bags

·      1 BIG size Zip-loc bag

·      a hand towel or gloves to keep fingers from freezing as well!

METHOD:

1.  First, mix the milk, vanilla and sugar together in one of the medium size bags.

2.  Next, seal the bag tightly, allowing as little air to remain in the bag as possible. Too much air left inside may force the bag open during shaking.

3.  Now, place this bag inside the other medium size bag, again leaving as little air inside as possible and sealing well. By ‘double-bagging’, the risk of salt and ice leaking into the ice cream is minimised.

4.  Then, put the two bags inside the BIG size bag and fill the bag with ice, then sprinkle salt on top. Again, let all the air escape and seal the bag. Wrap the bag in the towel or put your gloves on, and shake and massage the bag, making sure the ice surrounds the cream mixture.

5.  Do this for five to eight minutes. It will turn the mixture into ice cream.

6.  Finally, EAT your delicious ‘plastic bag’ ice cream!
