How can you make ice cream without having to by any fancy products or electronics?

I have special occasion, sort of like a family reunion, and everyone who is going is bringing something homemade. Since it is going to be in June, most likely it will be hot. So, I thought that ice cream would make a great refreshing desert. I want to make chocolate and strawberry, but I don't want to spend so much money on tools just to make ice cream. Anyone have a simpler solution?How can you make ice cream without having to by any fancy products or electronics?
You can get a cheap icecream maker at Wal-Mart or Target ($30). All you need is ice, rock salt, milk, condensed milk and flavoring. Shouldn't cost that much for ingredients.





Throw all the ingredients (minus ice and salt) in the canister, add ice and salt around the canister in the bucket, plug in, and an hour later you have homemade icecream. Extremely easy and pays for itself after a couple times. Good luck.How can you make ice cream without having to by any fancy products or electronics?
