60 ml root beer extract

480 ml heavy cream
05 -
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

# How to Make It:
01 -
Pour the combined ingredients into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines and churn for at least 2 hours until it's softly set.

Toss in the sugar, vanilla, root beer extract, and a pinch of kosher salt. Turn the mixer up to medium and blend for 3–5 minutes to make sure the sugar's all dissolved.
