bles.

Step 3: Slowly stir the mixture, and add 5

table spoons of sugar to the mix. As

you add the sugar, taste the mix-

ture. Stop adding once its

sweet enough.

Step 4: Add salt to the mixture. This is

to help balance the taste of the

mixture. Keep adding and stir-

scoop out the mix

Your ice cream is done!!!

Serve it up with extra

toppings and a cool re-

freshment for

To make ice cream, it has to be formed under a tem-

perature of –3°. However water freezes at 0°C, thus

preventing us from stirring and mixing the icecream..

This is why we need salt. By adding salt to the Ice, it

dissolves in the water that melts making the water

impure with sodium ions. This then decreases the

freezing point of the water to a lower temperature

allowing us to make icecream

Constantly stirring the icecream as it freezes prevents

giant ice crystals from forming and allows air bubbles

to get trapped making the ice cream smooth.
