adapted from: Kortni S.
2 c. milk (I used 1%)
4 c. whipping cream
4 c. half-and-half
2 3/4 c. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbl. vanilla extract
or 1 Tbl. vanilla extract and 1 Tbl. vanilla bean paste
Combine milk and sugar and heat over medium-low just until sugar is dissolved. This should only take a minute or two. You can tell it is dissolved if you get a spoonful of the liquid and rub it between your fingers, if it is smooth, then the sugar is dissolved. If it still feels grainy, then you need to keep heating. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into ice cream maker and freeze. Serve with desired toppings.
Jenn's Notes: I heated the milk and sugar together, then I put that in the refrigerator for a few hours until I was ready to make the ice cream. The colder the ingredients are when you start out, the faster it will freeze.
