Ice Cream without an Ice-Cream Machine

Homemade ice cream is exceptionally nice, but personally, I don’t want to buy an ice-cream machine: they are big and ugly and will gather dust and take up space. I do have an ice-cream maker, but it’s made of pewter, small, quaint and dates from the early 1800s: it’s called a ‘sorbetière’. Because not everyone is lucky enough to have a traditional sorbetière, the following method will do the trick just fine.
