Ice Cream In a Bag : )

BEDA day 2

I wanted to share a fun activity to do with the kids. My boys love making ice cream in a bag. It's quick easy and fun. You probably already have everything you need on hand.

Ice Cream In a Bag (If not using flavored syrup)

• 1 cup of milk or half & half
•  2 tbls sugar
•  1/2 tsp vanilla
•  Ice 
•  Salt
•  Baggies (sandwich size & larger)

Ice Cream In a Bag (If using flavored syrup)

•  1 cup milk or half & half
•  1 tbs or non depending on how much syrup you use
•  1/4 tsp vanilla
•  Ice
•  Salt
•  Baggies (sandwich size & larger)

 Mix together milk, sugar, vanilla and syrup if making a flavor ice cream. Pour milk mixture into a sandwich bag and close getting as much air out as possible.  Take a gallon size bag and add ice. Pour salt over the ice and put the bag of milk inside the bag of ice. Put a little more ice and salt in the bag and close it getting as much air out as possible.  The bag gets really cold so make sure to have the kids wear gloves or wrap a towel around it. Squeeze and smush the bag for 5-10 minutes till it turns stiffer. I found that 5 minutes was perfect.

Enjoy your delicious easy ice cream!
