Snow ice cream

With nearly a foot of fresh snow in our yard today we decided to use a bit to whip up a tasty treat for ourselves.

Ingredients:

1 mixing-bowl full of snow
1 T vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of salt (optional)
1-3 cups milk (higher fat content is better)


Take the bowl of fresh snow (may be scooped from a deep fresh mound, or a bowl or two could be left out during a snowfall to collect it for you), add a tablespoon of vanilla, 1/2 cup of sugar, pinch of salt and a half cup of milk. Stir, keep adding milk until the snow takes on a creamy consistency. Taste. Add more sugar or vanilla as needed. Eat. Yum.
