You will need:

cream

drinking chocolate powder

ice cubes

tablespoon

tea towel & large bowl

glass

salt

milk

Mix one spoon of choclate, two spoons of milk and one spoon of cream in glass.

Put some ice cubes in the bowl and sprinkle a lot of salt over them.

Place the glass of icecream mixture in the large bowl on top of the salted icecubes.

Build up more layers of ice cubes and salt around the glass. (When salt is mixed with ice, it make the ice melt. It also makes it colder).

Place the tea towel over the bowl. Leave the ice-cream mixture to est for an hour. Stir it every few minutes. (The towel helps stop heat getting into the bowl from outside. Ice needs heat to melt. It takes this from the ice cream mixture, which gets so cold that it freezes).

Take the glass out of the bowl, and tast your home made chocolate ice cream.
