- 1 Bag of Ice
- 1 Box of kosher or rock salt

Instructions
- Set SmartHub to 182ºF
- Put all ice cream ingredients into a Vac-Snap bag and shake to break up yolks
- Place in SmartHub for 30 minutes, remove and shake to even out
- Chill in refrigerator overnight
- Place refrigerated bag into another Vac-Snap bag (the same size or larger) and fill that outside bag with ice, at least 2 cups of salt, and about a cup of water and close the bag
- Wrap the double bag in a towel and shake for about 20 minutes (its helpful to have a friend for this). Check periodically to see if the ice cream is firming (adding more salt will help make it colder)
- Once relatively firm, remove the ice cream from the salt and ice bag, give a quick rinse in cold water, and put it in the freezer.
