Vanilla Ice Cream

Cut a vanilla bean into small pieces, boil it in a teacup of fresh milk; when it cools add to two quarts of sweet thick cream (first strain the boiled milk); sweeten with two heaping cups of powdered sugar; beat it to a stiff froth. Put the cream into the freezer and when it begins to freeze stir from the sides with a large spoon or paddle, beating very hard. Beat every time the freezer is opened. When frozen put in a dark place and throw a blanket over it until needed.
