Warm over medium heat, once boiled, add sugar and stabiliser mix. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and take it out of heat once done.

Step 3

When ready to churn, remove the vanilla pod and freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. After about 15-20 minutes, take it out of the container and store.
