Instant Ice Cream

Have a craving for ice cream? Well you can make instant homemade ice crew with three ingredients, rock salt, ice, and some ziplocs! I made mine with Big Red soda to give it some extra flavor! Here's how:

Ingredients:
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:
Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it. (I added a cup of Big Red soda to make Big Red ice cream!)
Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.
Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.
Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!
