In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk, heavy cream, and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let steep for 1 hour. In a large bowl, whisk yolks, vanilla sugar, and salt to combine. Bring milk mixture to a boil, and remove the vanilla bean; reserve for another use. Slowly add to yolks while whisking constantly. Let stand 5 minutes. Prepare an ice bath. Add vanilla extract to the ice-cream base, stirring to combine. Strain through a fine sieve over a medium bowl. Cool ice cream base in ice bath. Transfer to an ice-cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Makes about 1 1/4 quarts.
