Green tea ice cream

Serves: 8
Cooking Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

  • 1,5 litres milk
  • 70g milk powder
  • 170g butter
  • 125ml (½ cup) glucose
  • 60g green tea powder (available from Asian supermarkets and health stores)
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 340g sugar
  • 2 gelatine leaves, soaked in a little warm water

Instructions

1

Combine the milk, milk powder, butter, glucose and tea in a pot and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature.

2

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Stir in the cooled milk and place on the stove over a saucepan of boiling water. Heat gently, stirring continuously, until it reaches 83°C (use a cooking thermometer).

3

Remove from the heat, stir in the soaked geltine leaves and allow the mixture to cool.

4

Transfer to an ice-cream churner and freeze for at least 5 hours, or pour into a tray and freeze, stirring every hour to break up the ice crystals.

5

Serve with chopped pistachio nuts or decoration of your choice.

Notes

To drink: Green tea is probably the right choice. If anything else, try a bubbly, possibly a demi-sec such as Graham Beck Bliss.
