Green tea ice cream is ice cream made from certain types of green
tea powder usually from matcha or maccha. This delicacy has its roots
in Japan. Japanese ice cream distributors market varieties of this treat
based on the specific green tea type from which it was made.
The
Japanese sometimes serve their ice cream in a rather unusual way.
Sometimes it is served in a bowl, similar to the way it is served in the
west, but they also serve green tea ice cream in between monaka. Monaka
is a Japanese sweet that is made with two sweet wafers that is then
filled with a paste. In Japan, these wafers are filled with green tea
ice cream making a delicious treat similar to what we know as an ice
cream sandwich.
This delicacy is made with many of the traditional
ice cream ingredients such as egg yolks, sugar, and water. Both cream
and milk are usually included in a recipe for green tea ice cream. As
the main ingredient, tea powder, derived from either maccha or matcha
tea, is added.
Because matcha or maccha tea powder is used to make
green tea ice cream, it gives it a wonderful green color. Matcha and
maccha tea are common elements in customary Japanese tea ceremonies, and
are usually kept in most Japanese households. The ice cream is usually
made by cooking the ingredients and then freezing them.
This
delicious treat is not commercially available to most people from the
local markets in America. Because of this, many people have resorted to
simply making their own, and you can too! An easy way to do this is to
use vanilla ice cream and combine it with green tea powder. Some may not
think it is a true green tea ice cream, but it is a simple solution for
those who do not have time for a more traditional recipe.
Green
tea ice cream first created in Asia is now introduced to America. Many
people are enjoying this delicious creation as an alternative to
traditional ice cream. Until we have it more widely available in
American markets we will just have to find creative methods for making
it ourselves!
