5 minute gluten free ice milk!

Yes, it's true! You can make delicious ice milk in minutes using 3 ingredients and a few other household items. Originally I saw the idea on   http://parentables.howstuffworks.com/chow/make-your-own-ice-cream-five-minutes.html

All you need is;

1/2 cup of milk
(I used homogenized/whole milk for this)

1tbsp. sugar
(I have tried this with white granulated sugar and brown sugar, both work well, the brown sugar lends a more caramel like flavor)

1 tsp. vanilla
(I use vanilla extract but would try other extracts)

You will also need a sandwich baggie and a larger sized plastic baggie, both need to have seals!

5 tbsp. course salt
(I used leftover pickling salt)

2 cups ice cubes
(I used freshly snow too)

Got all that? Great! Now the fun part!

Mix your milk, sugar, and flavored extract together in the smaller plastic baggie, seal that sucker well!

Put your salt and ice in the larger bag, toss the small bag in on top. Now seal the larger bag, I usually leave a little air inside for movement.

Now just shake the bags vigorously for about 5 minutes (you may want gloves!), or until you have a thick ice cream like substance in the inner baggie. Pull out the small bag (discard the salt and ice mix) and put your ice milk in a bowl.

I have been known to add chocolate sprinkles, caramel sauce, fruit, or other yummy things as topping. Experiment and have fun.

Enjoy!
