Snow Cream

We don't always get a big snow in Alabama, but when we do......we make snow cream!

People always say, "Make sure you gather clean snow!"  ????? I never understood that.  I always just put a clean bowl on the patio table and wait for Mother Nature to fill it for me.  She outdid herself for me this time!  This is an 8 quart bowl!

 

My general rule of thumb for snow cream is as follows for each gallon of snow (16 cups), add the following:

1 cup sugar
2 T. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup milk (more or less)

Simple mix together.  You may want to add more or less milk to get the desired consistency you want.  And I love vanilla, so I add a lot!  Adjust to your taste.
