Making Japanese Green Tea Ice Cream at Home

If you want to experience the authentic flavors of Japan in your own home, try making Japanese Green Tea Ice Cream with this traditional recipe.

Ingredients:	2 cups heavy cream	1 cup whole milk	3/4 cup granulated sugar	1/4 teaspoon salt	4 egg yolks	3 tablespoons Japanese Matcha Green Tea powder
Instructions:	In a medium saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually pour the heated cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and stir over low heat until it thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Matcha Green Tea powder until fully combined. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.

Note: For a creamier texture, replace the whole milk with half-and-half or use an additional cup of heavy cream instead of the whole milk.
