With the hot summer months approaching, you are going to need tons of ice-cream to help you cool off and beat the heat. Here's a simple recipe, made up of just five ingredients that you can try at home this season. And you don't need an ice cream maker for this! 

Ingredients: 
1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1 cup heavy whipped cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 

Method: 
In a small saucepan, heat milk to 175 degree Celsius. Stir in the sugar until it is completely dissolved. Let it cool completely. Add in the lemon juice and mix well. In a large bowl, beat the whipped cream until it is stiff; add the vanilla extract and cooled milk mixture. Pour this into a 9 inch square dish. Freeze the dish for four hours or until firm, stirring at least once. Remove this ice-cream from the freezer 10 minutes before serving.
