Preparation of Ice Cream Base

Mix the Base Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly.
