Is a vanilla stick the same thing as a vanilla bean? If so, you can use it in place of vanilla extract (liquid) for your ice cream.
Use a small knife, like a paring knife, and carefully cut the bean in half along it's length. You want to split it into two long halves. Then use the BACK of the knife to scrape the dark, sticky stuff from inside the bean (that's the seeds).
Add the seeds to your milk/cream mixture...they are really sticky, so you will have to scrape them off the knife. You can also add the ';skin'; of the bean, but remove it before you freeze the ice cream. The seeds are so tiny, they can remain in the finished product.
