Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 4 teaspoons matcha (green tea powder)
• 6 egg yolks

Directions:

Pour the cream into a large bowl and whisk in the green tea powder. Set a mesh strainer on top and set aside.

Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan. Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heat proof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickened and coats the back of the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and into the cream, then whisk vigorously until the custard is frothy to dissolve the green tea powder. Stir over an ice bath until cool.

Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator (at least 4 hours), then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Makes about 1 quart of ice cream.
