Cooking with kids

Sunday, July 17 is National Ice Cream Day!

A hot (hopefully) July day calls for some homemade ice cream! You can turn the process into a fun food science lesson by making ice cream in a bag. For older kids you can get more detailed and explain what is happening. As salt lowers the freezing point of ice it makes a super cold salt-water brine that absorbs the heat from the milk. For younger kids you can show them how the ice is super cold and chills the milk which in-turn makes the ice cream. Encourage your child to shake the bag when making the ice cream. When the ice cream is ready, enjoy the delicious treat that is even sweeter because you and your child made it together!
