The flavors mentioned might taste good ONCE, but if you are making ice cream....the way ice cream was made in homes for several decades and still is in some, you need to get real ingredients and CAN'T use the freezer! Who had freezers back then! You used an ice cream freezer, lots of ice blocks. I made for my neighborhood kids, and they went around the block asking to take icicles off houses in the winter to put into the wooden churn bucket. Good, Proper ice cream IS DELICIOUS!
