Traditional Vanilla Milk Ice Cream (Eggless)
This traditional Parsi-style vanilla ice cream is a rich, vegetarian-friendly dessert made by slowly reducing fresh milk to concentrate its natural sweetness and creaminess. The simple yet elegant preparation involves simmering milk until thick, sweetening it, and infusing it with aromatic vanilla before freezing to a firm texture. It offers a dense, kulfi-like consistency that captures the nostalgic essence of historical Indian dairy treats without the use of eggs.

- 1/2 cup Sugar (Originally '0.25 Ratal' (1/4 lb). Converted to volume.)
