It's time to make SNOW ICE CREAM!!

Today is the perfect day to make snow ice cream. As we are studying snow at school, it was my plan to make snow ice cream at school, but it has to be on a perfect day like today and we're not at school. I just made this with my children. It was easy to make and the kids thought it was yummy!

Bowl of fresh snow
1/2 - 2 cups of milk
1 - 2 TB of vanilla extract
1/2 - 1 cup of sugar

After you have collected the snow, put a 1/2 cup of milk into the bowl at a time and stir. Add until the snow becomes about the consistency of ice cream. Don't worry if it becomes too runny - just go outside and add some more snow. Next, add the vanilla extract - try 1 TB first and add more as you like. Then, add 1/2 cup of sugar, stir, taste, and if you need some more, add some more. Voila! SNOW ICE CREAM! The ice cream melts fairly quickly - I just added more snow. I have put the remainder in the freezer for now, but I am not sure what kind of results I will get. Hope you enjoy making this with your kids!
