What kind of vodka? lol

Ok, I'll serve up our recipe that has been going strong for almost 40 years: I'll also give you another recipe for those of you who might be diabetic and need a substitute ( it took me about a year to get this down right so the flavor stayed basically the same )

6 eggs
2 cups sugar ( or more depending on how sweet you want it )
1/4 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 qt. of half and half
2 cans of evaporated milk
2-3 tablespoons of Madagascar Vanilla ( I do 3 because the taste is better )

Some people will cook the mixture,,,,I stopped doing this 15 years ago because it didn't make any difference as to taste and I have not gotten sick because of the uncooked eggs,,,people ingest eggs this way in protein shakes, etc. I

Mix at medium to high for at least 5 minutes and pour into the freezing tank,,,fill the rest of the tank with milk to the fill line and freeze,,,,,always use enough rock salt to freeze correctly!

For diabetics or people who want less sugar content

6 eggs
one cup of sugar and 12 packets of equal
1/4 tablespoon of lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 qt. of fat free half and half
2 cans of fat free evaporated milk
2-3 tablespoons of Madagascar Vanilla ( I do 3 because the taste is better )

Same mixing as above,,,enjoy!

Grey Goose is my go to, but I enjoy a number of different vodkas.

Thanks for the recipe. I might give it a go soon. Do you know about how much ice cream this recipe yields?
