Green Tea / Matcha Ice Cream

We love matcha ice cream especially after tasting the very good one in Japan. We bought some green tea powder from our trip Japan and so excited to try it.

First thing first: cook the milk, cream, salt and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. In another bowl, stir together the egg yolks and green tea powder then pour some of the milk mixture into the yolks. Pour the milk and yolk mixture back to the saucepan and reheat it while continue stirring until it reach 80 degree Fahrenheit.

Strain the custard into a container. Let it cools until it reaches room temperature then refrigerate over night. 

Churn for about 25 minutes or according to your ice cream machine manual

Take a spoonful and too. It surely doesn't disappoint.
