How to Make Old Time Vanilla Ice Cream

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, pour the custard base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (approximately 20-30 minutes).
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours to harden further before serving. Enjoy!
