Easy Green Tea Icecream Ideas

Icecream is such a fun dessert in the summer. Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry are all fine and good, but there are times when I'm ready for something a little different. When you're ready for something a little different and 'grown-up', make up a batch of chai tea ice cream recipe, or give this delicious green tea ice cream recipe a try. Using green tea powder makes this quick and easy and it's actually somewhat healthy (if you ignore the fact that it's made with heavy cream and sugar). This is such a great dessert to impress your dinner guests and the perfect ending to a light summer meal.

Recipes For Green Tea Ice Cream

* 1 Tbsp matcha green tea powder
* 3 Tbsp hot water
* 3/4 cup milk
* 2 egg yolks
* 5 Tbsp sugar
* 3/4 cup heavy cream

Start by mixing the tea powder and hot water in a small cup. Get out a heavy sauce pan and add the egg yolks to it. Stir them a bit with a wooden spoon, then add the sugar and mix again until well combined. Add the milk a little at a time and continue to whisk until everything is well dissolved.

Turn your stove to low to medium low heat and slowly heat the ice cream mix while stirring constantly. Once it starts to get a bit thicker, remove it from the stove and stir it for a minute or two to let everything cool down a bit. Then add the tea and mix everything really well before sticking it in the fridge for a good 30 minutes to chill.

While the green tea mixture is cooling down, get out your hand mixer and whip the heavy cream into some yummy whipped cream. This will give the ice cream a nice light and airy texture. Fold the whipped cream gently into the cold green tea mixture just until it is incorporated. Scoop it into your ice cream maker and follow the directions for making ice cream, or put everything into a large bowl, stick it in your freezer and stir well every 15 to 20 minutes until you have ice cream consistency.

Once that's done, scoop the ice cream into a plastic container with a lid and freeze it for at least 30 minutes to make it hard enough to scoop.

Once you have this basic recipe down, you can add some other flavorings to expand. Try a bit of strawberry syrup or a little lemon zest in this recipes to add variety.

Last but not least, make some strong green tea, allow it to cool and use the tea, a bit of milk and some of this ice cream to make a delicious green tea ice cream shake.
