Heating Milk for Eggnog Ice Cream

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail. On behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to make this delicious refreshing eggnog ice cream. Now that our eggs are separated our next step is going to be boiling the milk. We are going to have one cup of our whole milk and then we are going to also add in our salt and measure this out. Once again I really want to emphasize that it is important to have whole milk not skim milk not 2% not 1% but whole milk because you need that fat in order for the ice cream to be created. So to that one cup we are going to add a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and just be really careful when pouring it so that you don't pour to much salt that 1/4 of a teaspoon is going to be enough to kind of temper the sweetness in the ice cream. We are going to heat that up and we're going to start it on a medium high flame you want to stir this a little bit with your wooden spoon to make sure that the salt is incorporated. Then we are going to let it sit for a few minutes while it boils and then we'll come right back to it. You can see that our milk is now boiling you want to be very careful because as soon as it starts to boil you want to take it off of the heat and you want to keep it a close eye on it to make sure that it doesn't boil over.
