1.5 liters good quality vanilla ice cream
2-4 tbsp matcha powder (green tea powder), depending on how strong you like the taste to be
2-3 tbsp lukewarm warm (enough to make a soft paste)
Method:
- Soften the ice cream in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Mix the matcha powder with water to create a smooth paste.
- Separate half the ice cream into a mixing bowl. Add the matcha mixture and mix with a rubber spatula.
- Add the rest of the ice cream and combine to create a marbled effect, or you prefer mix until a uniformed colour is achieved.
- Transfer into original ice cream container and freeze.
- After 30 minutes, give the ice cream a quick mix to prevent ice crystals from forming, resulting in a more creamy texture.
- Freeze until ready to serve.
