Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 cups fresh snow Make sure the snow is white and fluffy, not icy or dirty.
  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half for extra creaminess
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Pinch salt optional

Method
 

  1. Collect fresh, clean snow in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt (if using) until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  3. Pour the milk mixture over the snow.
  4. Quickly stir the mixture together until it reaches a soft, ice cream-like consistency. Be careful not to overmix, as the snow will melt.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.
