How to Make Green Tea Ice Cream
- In a medium saucepan, lightly whisk together 4 large egg yolks.
- Add 2 cups whole milk and ¾ cup granulated sugar to the saucepan. Whisk until well combined.
- Place the saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat immediately. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This removes any lumps.
- Place the bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice water; stir occasionally until the custard is completely cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of hot water and 2 teaspoons of high-quality green tea powder until the powder is fully dissolved. Let steep for 5 minutes, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any tea leaves.
- Add the cooled green tea mixture to the cooled custard base. Whisk until well combined. Continue chilling in ice water while preparing the next step.
- Gently fold in 1 cup heavy cream into the green tea custard mixture.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually about 20-30 minutes).
- Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
