Snow Cream!

When your children come home and tell you they had ice cream at school, believe them.  It's true.  Even though we do not serve sweets at school, we took advantage of the beautiful clean, fresh snow this morning, and made some Cinnamon Snow Cream!

"But my dad says I can only eat snow that is coming right out of the sky." Yes, that's good advice.  So, we had to learn how to be so, so careful about getting *clean* snow.  What this means is the snow we use is not touching the ground, and it has not been touched by anything on top.  To find this pure snow, we looked for places outside that had lots of untouched snow.  Then, we took a spoon and carefully scooped just the top layer of it.  If the scoop went down to touch the ground, it was too deep.  We could only take the scoops that skimmed the surface-level.

1 clean bin full of clean snow

1-2 14-oz. cans sweetened condensed milk

A few generous shakes of cinnamon

Mix it up till it starts to look like ice cream.

We put it in the freezer for a little while before eating it.
