Matcha Green Tea Recipe

 Our first ice cream was Matcha green tea ice cream. When we told everyone about it almost everyone said " Uhhhh! That sound nasty." or "sounds interesting." The main ingredients was green tea powder and the first thing we did was mix that with hot water. To tell you the truth, it looked like diarrhea and smelled really bad. The rest of it was like making regular ice cream, but then we put the green tea powder in there and did it smell bad. When we were done it didn't really have a very strong smell, so I decided to taste it. I thought it was okay, but then the after taste came and I knew I would never eat that ice cream again.


Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 egg yolks
• 5 Tbsp sugar
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 Tbsp matcha green tea powder
• 3 Tbsp hot water

Preparation:

Mix hot water and green tea powder together in a bowl and set aside. Lightly whisk egg yolks in a pan. Add sugar in the pan and mix well. Gradually add milk in the pan and mix well. Put the pan on low heat and heat the mixture, stirring constantly. When the mixture is thickened, remove the pan from the heat. Soak the bottom of the pan in ice water and cool the mixture. Add green tea in the egg mixture and mix well, cooling in ice water. Add whipped heavy cream in the mixture and stir gently. Pour the mixture in an ice cream maker and freeze, following instructions of the ice cream maker. Or, pour the mixture in a container and freeze, stirring the ice cream a few times.
