Recipe for Vanilla Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 quart of cream
- 1/2 pound of sugar
- 1 vanilla bean or two teaspoons of vanilla extract
Directions
Put the sugar and half the cream in a double boiler over the fire. Split the vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds and add them to the hot cream, and add the bean broken into pieces. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, and strain through a colander. When this is cold, add the remaining cream and freeze. This should be repacked and given two hours to ripen. Four would be better.
