- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (250 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
- Contains: dairy, egg
Ingredients
- 100 g Cream, heavy
- 60 g Milk, whole
- 20 g Egg yolks, raw
- 30 g Sugar
- 40 g Green tea, brewed
Method
- Brew the green tea very strong with a small amount of hot water so it is concentrated; if matcha powder is available, whisk 4-5 g of it into the warm milk instead for a more authentic flavour and colour.
- Warm the milk and half the sugar in a saucepan until steaming but not boiling, then stir in the concentrated tea.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar, then slowly pour in the hot milk while whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to low heat and stir constantly until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon; do not let it boil.
- Strain into a bowl, stir in the heavy cream, and chill thoroughly, then churn in an ice cream maker until soft-set.
- Freeze for at least 2-3 hours until firm before serving.
