***Helpful Hints: There are many different types of sea salts. Each type of sea salt varies in saltiness from the other types. When I made this recipe, I used French Grey Sea Salt. Also keep in mind that everyone’s preferences are different, you may prefer a more salty flavor or you may prefer a less salty one. Add sea salt according to your taste preference.It’s also a good idea to remember that the salt needs to dissolve completely to affect the taste. Allow the sea salt to dissolve and permeate the ice cream base before adding more.
