Shake and Make Ice Cream

This is a great thing for children to do. Younger ones might get bored shaking, but I think it would be good for a 7 to maybe 10 years old.

Ingredients

• 2 TB sugar
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 6 TB Rock salt (very inexpensive)
• 1 pint-size plastic zip lock bag
• 1 gallon-size zip lock bag
• Crushed Ice

Directions

Combine the sugar, half-and-half and vanilla in pint-size zip lock bag and seal. Fill the gallon-size zip lock bag one-half full with crushed ice. Add the rock salt. Place the sealed, pint-size zip lock bag into the gallon size zip lock bag and seal.

Now here comes the hardest part:

Shake the gallon-size bag for 5-7 minutes or until the ice cream hardens. Open the small zip lock bag and enjoy.

Now this doesn't make a very large amount. Just enough to satisfy the maker of the concoction for all the hard work it took to shake. But the ice cream is good and smooth.
