Recipe: Green Tea Ice Cream

Ingredients
-------------
• 3 eggs
• 1¼ cups milk
• 2 tablespoons green tea powder (matcha)
• 2 tablespoons boiling water
• 1¼ cups double (heavy) cream
• ½ vanilla pod
• 3 teaspoons sugar
• ¼ cup caster sugar

Directions
-------------
Boil water in a pan and add sugar and green tea or matcha into it.
Let it remain in the water for at least 12 minutes.
Break eggs in a medium-sized mixing bowl, whip it with caster sugar and set aside. Take milk in a cooking pan and add the vanilla pod to it.
When it simmers, take it off the flame and transfer into the green tea.
After 5 - 6 minutes, pour this through a strainer into the bowl containing eggs. Take another pan and pour the whole mixture into it.
Keep it on low heat and stir continuously.
Take it off the flame when it turns into a thick mixture.
Take cold water in a large vessel and dip the bottom of the pan into it to cool the mixture.
After it has become cold, put in whisked double (heavy) cream into it and stir once.

If you have an ice cream maker at home, just place the whole mixture into it. Follow the guidelines given and keep it in the freezer, after storing it in an air tight container.
Serve when the ice cream becomes hard, with a cherry on top of it.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can still make a delicious ice cream at home.
After you add the whipped cream, put it in a large container and place it in the refrigerator.
After two hours, transfer the container into the freezer.
While following this method, you will have to take out the ice cream and stir, so that ice crystals do not form in the ice cream.
Repeat this once or twice till the ice cream hardens.
