Many people don’t even think about how easy it is to make ice cream at home from natural products, even if an ice cream maker is not on the list of kitchen equipment. In its simplest form, a home ice cream maker consists of a container, a mixing blade and a lot of ice.

Homemade ice cream is a mixture of cream, milk and sugar. Various emulsifiers are added to industrial recipes - gelatins, starch, egg whites. The recipe for homemade ice cream is no more complicated than the recipe, the technology is similar, only the cream can be heat treated, and the creamy ice cream can be frozen.

If you have an ice cream maker, the process is greatly simplified, since there is no need to prepare ice and manually stir the mixture. As a rule, a simple mixture based on cream and sugar is first prepared, on the basis of which you can then make any creamy ice cream, with any filling - fruit, vanilla, berry, coffee or ice cream with green tea.

  • Milk 400 ml
  • Sugar 0.5 cups
  • Vanilla extract to taste
  • Matcha green tea powder taste
  • Chocolate, syrup, jam, mint or basil for filing
  1. Having prepared creamy ice cream as a base, you can create almost any dessert to your taste using various additives and fillers. For the creamy base you will need natural cream with a fat content of at least 30%. They are also called heavy cream or cream. There's Double Cream in the UK - it's the way to go. You need regular milk with a fat content of 2-2.5%, regular white sugar and a little liquid vanilla extract - it mixes well with milk.

  2. How to cook

  3. To make creamy homemade ice cream, simply combine milk and cream in a large saucepan. Add sugar and liquid vanilla extract. This can all be done at once and sequentially, and then put the pan on low heat. By the way, at this stage you need to add all the ingredients that are used as fillers and flavorings to the milk mixture.

  4. Slowly heat the milk mixture, stirring constantly with a spatula. The sugar must be completely dissolved - without a trace at all. You should try the cream mixture and, if necessary, add sugar and vanilla - rely on your taste. Remove the pan from the heat and cool to room temperature by placing it in cold water. Place the pan with the mixture in the refrigerator - the better the mixture cools, the more convenient it will be to form the dessert.

  6. An amazingly convenient and simple device for making ice cream. The models are very similar to each other. When choosing, you should pay attention to the cooling container - the more massive the walls and the more liquid in them that retains cold, the more product can be prepared without additional freezing of the container.

  7. The essence of the process is simple: a massive container is placed in the freezer in advance, at least for a day. Before cooking, it is placed in the ice cream maker and covered with a lid with a mixing device. If you don’t have such a device, you can get by with a regular metal pan and prepare a lot of crushed ice for cooling. You can mix with a regular whisk.
  8. The milk mixture is poured into the ice cream maker, which is cooled by the frozen container while stirring. Gradually the mixture thickens and cools greatly. Usually, the time for freezing the mixture in an ice cream maker is up to 15 minutes, but gradually the ice container warms up a little, and more time may be needed.

  9. This produces an excellent ice cream - a simple creamy product that is suitable as a dessert or serves as a basis for other desserts. The almost finished creamy dessert should be transferred to a plastic container, covered with a lid and placed in the freezer. Depending on the degree of freezing, you can make soft or hard (hardened) ice cream.

  10. How to make green tea ice cream

  11. The recipe for homemade matcha ice cream is not fundamentally different from the usual ice cream recipe. Matcha, in Japanese 抹茶, is an extremely interesting product that is on sale.

  12. At the stage of heating the milk mixture, add green tea powder to it, sifting it through a strainer. Green tea powder does not dissolve in milk. But it brews beautifully, coloring the milk a pleasant, soft green hue. After the tea has “brewed” in the milk and colored it, the mixture must be cooled in the same way as regular tea, without additives, and then strained through a cloth.

  13. After thoroughly cooling, pour the mixture into the prepared ice cream maker and wait until soft green tea ice cream forms. Additionally, freeze green tea ice cream in the freezer.

We enjoy ice cream with fruit and berry fillings, glaze or with nuts, we love creme brulee, chocolate and even coffee delicacies, but few, perhaps, have tried ice cream with green tea. Like mint, it invigorates and refreshes, and leaves a pleasant spicy aftertaste on the tongue.

What is tea ice cream and where does it come from?

The recipe for green tea ice cream came from a country where this drink has a special attitude, from Japan. The tea ceremony is just one of the rituals dedicated to this amazing drink: oils and decoctions are used in cosmetology, aromatherapy and even esoteric practices; it is not surprising that many culinary recipes cannot do without tea.

The photo shows a portion of ice cream containing green tea.

Green tea ice cream can be prepared in different ways, the main difference from each other is in the technique of brewing tea: some recipes involve the use of tea infusion, in others the tea leaves are poured into boiling water or milk, in this case the dessert will have a softer and more delicate taste. The color, no matter what recipe you use, will never be the bright green or pistachio color of store-bought ice cream. Dyes are used in production, and natural green tea ice cream will have a light yellowish tint, just like a freshly brewed drink. The dessert will only have a rich color if Matcha green tea is used in the preparation. This variety is sold in powder form and is added to ice cream as a powder, not as an infusion, so the consistency, taste and color differ from the classic tea delicacy.
