How to make Ziploc Bag or Coffee Can ice cream

Hot summer day and the kids wont leave you alone?  Need a cool treat, that will keep the kids busy… AND tire them out?  Then these recipes are for you!  Here’s how to make coffee can ice cream or Ziploc bag ice cream.  Both are pretty simple and tasty ice cream recipes, bu may not fully give Ben and Jerry a run for their money.  What they WILL do is give your kids a tasty treat and keep them busy for a while, and *shhh…*, they may even LEARN something in the process.

Here’s what happens:  Ice cream freezes at -6 degrees C.  The freezing point of the water in the can or bag is lowered by the salt that’s been added.  As the temperature drops, the water in the milk freezes, resulting in ice cream.
