Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream

Ingredients (4 Servings)

• 2 tbsp Premium Culinary Matcha green tea powder
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream (cold)
• 1/2 cup Sugar & A tiny pinch of salt
• 3 large Egg yolks (creates a rich custard base)

Instructions

1. Sift matcha: Sift matcha powder into a small bowl to remove all clumps. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of warm milk until a perfectly smooth green paste forms. Set aside.
2. Make hot milk base: In a saucepan, heat the remaining milk and sugar over medium-low heat just until it begins to steam (do not boil).
3. Temper egg yolks: Whisk egg yolks in a bowl. Slowly ladle a splash of the hot milk into the yolks while whisking constantly (prevents scrambling). Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
4. Thicken custard: Cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens into a rich custard that coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stir in the smooth matcha paste and cold heavy cream. Strain and chill in the fridge for 4 hours.
5. Churn & Freeze: Pour the cold bright-green base into your ice cream maker and churn for 20 minutes. Transfer to a container and freeze for 2 hours until firm and scoopable!
