Instructions

• Pour 1 cup of the cream into a saucepan and add the sugar and salt. If using a vanilla bean, scrape its seeds into the mixture and add the pod.
• Warm over medium heat just until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the remaining cream, milk, and vanilla extract if using extract. Whisk to combine and chill in the refrigerator.
• When ready to churn, remove the vanilla pod, whisk the mixture again, and pour it into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Serve immediately, or transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.
