How to Make Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and bourbon (optional).
  3. Let the mixture cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. Churn the cooled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-30 minutes.
  5. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further.
