## Ingredients  
* 1 cup whole milk, chilled
* 3/4 cup granulated sugar
* 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
* 1/8 tsp. salt
* _Mix-ins_ (see [[#Sub-Recipes]])
## Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl,
whisk the sugar into the milk until dissolved.
2. Stir in heavy cream, salt, and mix-ins.
Cover and chill the mixture for 1 hour.
3. Turn on the ice cream maker and pour in the mixture.
Let churn for 25 minutes.
4. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container
and freeze for at least 3 hours before serving.

## Sub-Recipes
### Mint Chocolate Chip
#### Mix-Ins
* 2 tsp. peppermint extract
* 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips<sup>*</sup>
<sup>*</sup>added gradually in the last minutes of churning.
#### Notes
* The chocolate chips can be substituted
with a finely chopped chocolate bar,
providing a more interesting texture
and a more "homemade" feeling result.
Note that chopping the chocolate bar
will be laborious and quite messy.

1 tsp. vanilla extract
15 chocolate sandwich cookies<sup>*</sup>, broken into chunks
<sup>*</sup>BOD Oreo.

# Ice Cream Making
## Terminology
### "Ice Cream"
Depending on who you ask,
the presence of certain ingredients
might disqualify a desert from being "ice cream".
I tend to believe (sometimes begrudgingly)
that the _popular_ definition is "correct",
in this case that ice cream is everything that a normal person might call ice cream,
which includes frozen custard, frozen yogurt, and gelato.
If I am referring specifically to egg-less ice cream,
I will state as such.
### "Dairy"
In this note and my ice cream recipes,
I use **dairy** to refer to the mixture of milk, creams,
milk/cream mixtures (see [[#Half and Half]]),
eggs, yogurt, what have you,
that makes up the majority of the stuff that you put in the ice cream machine
that, after churning, becomes ice cream.
## Churning
## Storage
### Containers
Churned ice cream needs to be stored in an airtight container,
otherwise ice crystals will form and ruin the texture.
### Added Alcohol
The addition of alcohol before storage
will lower the melting point of the ice cream,
giving it a softer texture.
This is especially helpful for certain recipes
with large pieces of fruit or cookies,
which can freeze hard and crunchy.
The recommended ratio is one tablespoon of spirit
(usually vodka, brandy, or rum)
to one cup of dairy.
Add immediately after churning.

## Chef's Notes
* Chopping the chocolate is laborious and _very_ messy.
I suspect the texture is nicer and the result more "homemade" feeling,
but if you're not trying to impress, go with chocolate chips.
