 Is there a better way to relax in the summer than with a nice ice cream cone? WTOP's John Doman is getting ready for National Ice Cream Day this weekend by talking with a D.C. pastry chef about the best way to make your own ice cream at home just the way you like it. Making your own ice cream at home is easy, even if you're in the mood for something creative or even exotic. Any kind of flavors that you want to infuse, like coffee or spices, it's really up to you and what you prefer.
