S is for Snow Part II

I big thank you to my sister-in-law in New Hampshire for telling me about Snow Ice Cream.  Not being a native New Englander, I've never tried making it, but based on her recommendation, the next decent snow we get, we'll give it a try (not that I want any more snow this season, we've already had 74+ inches, and honestly I'm tired of digging out and don't want to have school up until July!)

I found a few variations on recipes, so based on what you have on hand, one of these will hopefully work for you!  Don't forget to pull out any toppings you might have on hand...caramel, strawberry syrup, sprinkles, chocolate, crushed up candy canes or other candy, mint GS cookies, Oreo cookies...you get the picture!



Recipe #1 - 4 ingredients you probably have on hand

Ingredients
    * 1 gallon snow
    * 1 cup white sugar
    * 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    * 2 cups milk

Directions:
When it starts to snow, place a large, clean bowl outside to collect the flakes. When full, stir in sugar and vanilla to taste, then stir in just enough milk for the desired consistency. Serve at once.
