CLOVER KIDS’ CORNER

5-Minute Ice-Cream

It’s July, and there is no reason you should go through the whole month (let alone a week) without ice-cream. This is a simple and fun treat your Clover Kid can make from start to tasty finish. The basic recipe is as follows: 1 tablespoon sugar ½ cup milk, cream, or half and half ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 6 tablespoons salt (Rock salt is best) 1 gallon-sized Ziploc bag Ice to fill the gallon-sized bag halfway 1 pint-sized Ziploc bag Steps: 1. Mix the salt and ice in the gallon bag. 2. Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar

in the pint-size bag and seal. 3. Place the pint-sized bag into

the gallon-sized bag. 4. Seal the gallon-sized bag and

shake the bags vigorously for five minutes.

5. Remove the pint-sized bag, unseal and enjoy!

Variations an tips:

� Whole cream makes a thicker ice-cream

� Add a squirt of chocolate for the chocolate-lover.

� Top with fresh blueberries or blackberries from your favorite berry patch.
