The Freeze-and-Stir Method, an explanation

The first method for making ice milk I found is what I will call the freezer method.  As long as you have milk, sugar, flavoring, a glass or metal bowl, a freezer, and a mixing device (whisk, spoon, etc.), you can apparently make ice milk.  The recipe comes from Food.com and is quite simple, really, but takes a lot of time.  Once simply pours the ingredients into the bowl.  (The reason to use glass or metal is to retain the cold, which plastic and other materials will not do.)  The bowl is then placed in the freezer until crystals form on the milk.  Once this happens, stir the milk. Return the bowl to the freezer for another 2-4 hours.  At some point not given by the recipe, the mixture is poured into an airtight storage container, such as Tupperwear®, sealed, put back into the freezer, and allowed to sit overnight.  I have posted a 4x6 recipe card to the web, which you can download here.

I do not have the hours right now to attempt this type of recipe.  I will attempt to do this on the upcoming weekend.  At that time, I will add another blog post with photos and opinions.
