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

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.

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).

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

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.

Serve with chopped pistachio nuts or decoration of your choice.
