I've had matcha ice cream in japan and if you want it to taste authentic you could get away with 5 tablespoons of matcha. I also added an extra egg yolk and cooked till I got a mixture which coated my spoon. Reviews: Most Helpful. This was the best green tea ice cream I have ever had.

I have always disliked green tea ice cream until I had this one. But I changed the cream from dairy cream to coconut milk. Julie Julie. Rating: 4 stars. I recommend doubling the matcha powder for tea lovers and adding an extra egg yolk.

I loved this recipe. The final texture and flavor was so close to store bought without the chemicals and preservatives. This ice cream base is the best one I've ever used. I plan on using this base from now on for any homemade ice cream. It's one that never got "crunchy-hard" in the freeze the way other homemade ice cream can get. I love it. Janelle Allen. Perfectly strong matcha flavor and creaminess.
