Room 8 Make Their Own Ice Cream

Room 8 made ice cream in a bag

Did you know you can make homemade ice cream in a bag in less than 10 minutes with just milk, salt and ice? You don’t even need a freezer!!

You will need:

• A large bag of ice
• Salt
• Milk
• A tablespoon sugar and some food colouring – optional
• Ziploc bags
• Box/tea towel

How we have made it:

We were pouring a cup of milk into a Ziploc bag, adding the sugar and some blue food colouring. We were checking if the bag is properly sealed. Next, we were filling a box with ice and adding a good amount of salt. Second, we were putting the milk bag into the ice bag and giving it a good shake. After 5 minutes, we were checking the milk, and, surprise, the milk was a similar consistency of ice cream.

‘Yummy!’.

What’s going to be next?

We were thinking to place a mixture of ice and salt in a freezer to investigate whether it freezes or not.
