Quick tips about making homemade ice cream

Ice cream salt or rock salt as it is often called is used rather than table salt because it lowers the freezing temperature of the ingredients. Mix the rock salt with ice. This forms a saltwater slush around the ice cream or sorbet, cooling the base enough it will thicken and freeze before the ice can melt.

It seems strange that the half-melting salt water can actually be colder than ice cubes…but it works! Thus, people have been enjoying this frozen dessert for ages.

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar and lemon juice. Cook while stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
