How to Make Simple Vanilla Ice Milk

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. **If using an ice cream maker:** Churn the mixture according to your ice cream maker's instructions (approximately 20-30 minutes), until it thickens and reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. **If not using an ice cream maker:** Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish.
  5. Place the dish in the freezer. Stir every 2-3 hours, scraping the edges, until the ice milk is mostly frozen and begins to form ice crystals.
  6. Continue to freeze for another 4-6 hours or overnight, stirring every 2 hours to help it reach a smooth consistency.
  7. Once fully frozen, let the ice milk sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping to allow for easier serving.
