Ingredients

  • 8 large egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup loose green tea
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy cream

Directions

In a large bowl beat the egg yolks with the sugar and salt. Set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, scald the milk. Remove from the heat. Add the tea, cover and steep for 4 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pot, pressing with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Ladle 1/3 of the cream mixture into the eggs and whisk well to combine. Add all the egg mixture to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.

Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container and cool in the refrigerator, about 2 hours.

Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a plastic container and keep in the freezer until ready to serve.

    Freakin' Delicious!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was the first time I've used an ice cream maker. It did take some time to prepare the milk/tea combo and squeeze out all... the tea, and I did use premium (read: expensive) green tea imported from Japan and organic cream and milk. This quart of ice cream probably cost $15 to make! It's so delicious though. I've had green tea ice cream at Japanese restaurants quite a few times and this is better tasting and that is saying a lot because theirs is always really good. This has to be about 2 million calories and grams of fat, so I'm going to have to ration it!Read more
