Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream (>35% fat)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp matcha (green tea) powder
- Pinch of salt
- Ice and ice water
- Ice cream maker
Instructions
- A day before – Store the ice-cream bowl into the freezer per manufacturer’s instructions or for at least 24 hours.
- The next day – Put a medium saucepan on medium heat and whisk in milk, cream and sugar until they are well mixed. Pour the green tea powder into the mixture and stir constantly until all the powder has dissolved perfectly into the mixture and the mixture turns a milky green with no sight of any bits of powder.
- When the mixture starts to foam (not boiling) that is, when little bubbles start to form, remove from the heat. Immediately pour the mixture into a bowl sitting in an ice bath. Leave to cool for about 15mins. When the mixture has cooled down, cover the bowl with a glad wrap and chill the mixture in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
- Now, it’s time to make ice-cream! Remove the chilled mixture from the fridge. Remove the ice-cream bowl from the freezer. Remember – only remove the ice-cream bowl from the freezer right before you churn the ice-cream. Power on the ice-cream maker and slowly pour the mixture into the ice-cream maker. Churn according to manufacturer’s instructions. Be patient and wait. You will see magic starts to happen after 15-20 minutes.
- If the ice-cream has reached a soft, ice-creamy texture, stop and transfer the ice-cream into a pre-chilled airtight container. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours before serving. If you prefer the ice cream to be more firm, freeze the ice-cream overnight.
