The Kit
Keep your cool this summer with homemade ice cream,
lollies and slush. With the right kit, you may never need
reach for the mass-produced, shop-bought stuff again
ce cream is one of humankind’s
greatest achievements in
eating. While so many other
delicious foods are provided
by nature, it took the invention
of cheap refrigeration in the
second half of the 20th century
for frozen desserts to really
take over the world. Prior to
that, from the Ancient Greeks
to the Victorians, it was a
laborious-to-make luxury that
meant storing ice and snow.
Ice cream – and its fellow
sub-zero partners in the realm
of desserts – has never been
better with a great range of
smaller, artisan companies
using the best quality
ingredients to produce fantastic
ices with flavours that are
always looking to use local
produce. However, nothing
beats making your own at
home. From healthy lollies to
keep your kids away from the
ice cream van’s siren charms
to homemade ice cream that
wins any dinner party dessert
course, it’s far easier than you
think, tastes better than the
mass-produced brands and
is so much cheaper than the
luxury end of the market. All
you need is the right kit and
some ideas for what flavours
to freeze..
