1. In small zip-lock bag add in the cup of milk, teaspoon(s) of vanilla extract, and the teaspoons of sugar. Close zip-lock bag and make sure it will not open.

2. In large zip-lock bag add in ice cubes and enough salt to cover the cubes, the salt will keep the ice cubes in same cold temperature.

on 6/9/2009 Hi...I tried your recipe a few minutes ago. It made some awesome vanilla ice cream. I doubled the recipe and put the ingredients in a larger bag. Am having company this weekend and wanted them to try some, too. :) Thanks for the tips!
