Kick The Can Ice Cream

4 Tbs. sugar

2 c. half and half or milk (I use low fat half and half)

1/4 tsp. vanilla

6 Tbs. rock salt

ice cubes

1 pt. & 1 gal. ziptop bags or 1 sm. and 1 lg. metal coffee can

1. Fill lg. bag or can 1/2 full with ice cubes. Add rock salt.

2. Place milk, sugar, & vanilla in sm. bag or can. Seal well (if using a can, put duct tape around the lid to prevent leaking).

3. Place sm. bag or can into large and seal securely (again using duct tape if necessary).

4. Shake about 5 minutes or play Kick the Can with the kiddos!!

Ideas for flavorings.

Try replacing the milk with fruit juice and the vanilla with a fruit extract. I like using pineapple juice and coconut extract. Smells and tastes like summer, even in the throes of winter.

Add up to 1 tsp. instant coffee or espresso powder and 1/4 c. mini chocolate chips. This one is great if you replace the vanilla with peppermint extract!
