- One sandwich-sized sealable plastic bag
- One gallon-sized sealable plastic bag.

- One cup of table or rock salt
- One cup of whole milk
- Two or Three Tablespoons of sugar.
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- Plastic spoons
Follow the next steps:
Put milk, sugar, and vanilla into the small bag and seal it with as little air as possible. Squeeze the bag carefully to mix thoroughly.
Put the small bag inside the large bag.
Add ice to the large bag until ¾ full. Seal the bag and turn continuously for a few minutes.
Open the large bag and add salt. Gently squeeze the ice and salt to mix and then re-seal the bag.
Turn the bags over continuously until ice cream is the right consistency (about 15 minutes).

You may get very creative with the ice cream by adding some of the following ingredients to make ice cream favorites. By adding hot fudge and nuts you would have a Hot Fudge Sundae Place ice cream in an ice cream cone and add colorful sprinkles on top of the ice cream. Another favorite is a banana split.Â
For a banana split you will need a banana sliced in half then place ice cream on top. Place strawberry liquid, chocolate fudge syrup and pineapple chunks with whipped cream and cherries. This would be an incredible summer treat.Â
Making ice cream is also a fun project to make in groups such as classrooms, girl scouts, cub scouts or church groups. It is cold to make but not really that messy. Most of the mess is contained to the large sealed bag. This can be drained and tossed, and clean up is done.Â
Another fun dairy recipe is butter. It also is fun and easy to make. All you need is the following:Â
- Heavy whipping cream at room temperature.
- A pinch of salt or other seasoning (cinnamon, honey, maple syrup, etc).
- Baby food jars.
Steps to follow:
