open up large bag again
add small bag to large bag of ice
[you can put up to two small bags in at a time (to say make one vanilla & one chocolate]
seal large bag
put inside pillowcase

and then...


shake for about 15 min.


have youngest taste it just in case (lol!)

YUM!!! it passed our seal of approval, plus we got a work out too (all the shaking)







[Josh got this kit for Christmas, which had flavorings in it and these instructions, and we love it, but you can get flavorings at food store in baking isle]
