Green Tea Ice-Cream

A luscious recipe for Green Tea Ice Cream using match powder.
Ingredients
  • 1½ c heavy cream
  • 1½ c milk
  • 2 T matcha powder
  • 3 T water that has boiled, but then sat for five minutes
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ⅓ c sugar
Instructions
  1. Heat the cream and the milk in a medium saucepan over a medium high flame, stirring often so a skin doesn't form. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  2. In the mean time, heat the water and let it sit. After 5 minutes, add the matcha powder and whisk until dissolved. Set aside.
  3. Use a mixer to combine the egg yolks and sugar. Mix on a medium-high speed until mixture is thick and pale yellow. This takes about 3 minutes.
  4. Take 1 cup of the hot cream and SLOWLY add it to the egg yolk mixture. This tempers the yolks, so they won't scramble. Now add the yolk mixture to the pan. Add the green tea mixture as well. Stir and heat until just under a boil. Remove mixture from heat.
  5. If you want perfection, strain the mixture through a sieve (optional). Place plastic wrap directly on top of the ice-cream base and chill in your refrigerator. Once cold, follow your ice-cream maker's directions. Enjoy!
