Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and the sugar is dissolved.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened.

3. 3

   Gradually pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

4. 4

   Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.

5. 5

   Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.

6. 6

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the matcha green tea powder until fully incorporated.

7. 7

   Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.

8. 8

   Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
