Homemade Ice Cream in a Zip lock Bag

Homemade Ice Cream in a Zip lock Bag
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
6 tablespoons salt
Preparation:
Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into a pint or quart-sized freezer bag. Seal well.
Fill a large, gallon-sized freezer bag with ice. Add the salt. (We used rock salt.)
Put the smaller bag into the larger bag and seal.
Shake and mix until the ice cream thickens, about 10 minutes. You can also let the kids gently throw the bag back and forth to help mix the ice cream. The bag gets very cold, so you might want to use towels to hold it.
