<human>: Is there a way to make a homemade ice cream that doesn't use ice cream mixes?
<bot>: Yes, you can make your own homemade ice cream without using ice cream mixes. You will need some basic ingredients such as milk, sugar, and vanilla extract or flavoring of your choice. To start, heat the milk in a saucepan until it reaches about 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius). Remove from the heat and add the sugar. Stir until dissolved then cool down the mixture by adding cold water or ice cubes. Once cooled, mix in the flavoring and pour into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for making your homemade ice cream. Enjoy!
