One of my favorite flavors of ice cream is green tea. Back when I was a poor college student, my roommate and I would make a weekly, Friday night pilgrimage to Dreyer<\/a>‘s ice cream (no, we had nothing better to do on a Friday night). It was our big treat of the week. She would try different variations of chocolate, but much to her chagrin, I remained steadfastly faithful to green tea (it’s kind of like when I was a little kid–my mother took me and my brother to Baskin Robbins on what seemed like a daily basis, and I ALWAYS ordered orange sherbet. Always).
\nThis weekend I tried my hand at homemade green tea ice cream, and it turned out fairly yummy.

\nIn Japan, they have green tea soft serve (oh, excuse me, I just drooled on the keyboard). Actually, they are crazy for green tea-flavored items in Japan (as am I).
\nRead on for the recipe!<\/p>\n


\nGreen Tea (Matcha) Ice Cream
\nIngredients:
\n1\/3 cup water
\n1\/3 cup sugar
\n2-3 tsp of powdered green tea (matcha)
\n1 cup of heavy cream
\n1 cup of half & half
\nDirections:
\nCombine the water and sugar in a small pan and cook over low heat. Stir constantly. After the sugar dissolves, continue stirring and simmer the syrup over low for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add a tablespoonful of the syrup to the powdered green tea in a separate bowl and stir to dissolve. Dump that back into the sugar syrup and mix. Add the cream and the half & half and mix. Allow to cool in the fridge, then dump it into your ice cream maker and let it do its thing. Makes about 1 to 1 1\/2 quarts.
