3/4 cup water
3/4 cup rock salt

Pour milk, whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla into a 1 qt zip lock bag (seal tightly with duct tape)
Place the quart zip lock bag with the ice cream inside a 1 gallon zip lock bag.
Pack ice around the small bag
Add rock salt and water into the ice
Seal the larger bag very good with duct tape
Have students shake, toss, or pound contents on the ground.
Continue until the ice cream is frozen.
Open the outer bag and discard the ice and salt
Divide the small bag between children.
This works well when it is hot out, but if it is too hot, the ice cream melts fast in the small bag, and may never set up or get hard.
