We received an ice cream machine from my thoughtful mom one year as a gift and we finally figured out how to make a homemade version (instead of depending on the packets of powder that came with the machine). It was so easy! We started out making a vanilla bean ice milk, but added a handful of fresh mint leaves and the result was delicious. Perfect for 75 degrees and sunny – the California coast is hot today! But we are staying cool.
Mint Ice Milk
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or same amount of vanilla extract)
- pinch of sea salt
- 10 fresh mint leaves
Instructions:
Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix until sugar dissolves. Pour into your ice cream machine and follow the instructions.
On day 38 of this 365 day project, I ate my daily five (including a really tasty butternut squash and kale hash – want the recipe?). Did you enjoy yours?
Much love,

So glad you are enjoying the ice cream maker! Your Dad’s favorite ice cream was vanilla and I am sure he would have loved your batch that you made! Sending love to you all! Mom
