10 steps

What you need

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Put a fine sieve over a clean bowl and set it aside for later.

  2. 2

    Heat the cream, milk and half of the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles form at the edge. Take it off the heat.

  3. 3

    Whisk the yolks with the rest of the sugar in a bowl until smooth and slightly pale.

  4. 4

    Ladle the hot cream mixture into the yolks a little at a time, whisking all the while.

  5. 5

    Pour everything back into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon. Stop when the custard coats the back of the spoon and reaches 80 °C (175 °F), 5-7 min. Do not let it boil.

  6. 6

    Take the pan off the heat and whisk in the matcha until no clumps remain.

  7. 7

    Strain the custard through the sieve into the bowl.

  8. 8

    Press plastic wrap onto the surface and refrigerate until thoroughly cold, at least 4 hours.

  9. 9

    Churn in an ice cream maker until it looks like thick soft-serve, 20-25 min.

  10. 10

    Scrape into a lidded container and freeze until firm enough to scoop, at least 2 hours.
