Hi Donna,
Thanks for your comment. I don’t have an ice cream maker, but I think you can use the same ratio. Or you can follow cuisinart vanilla ice cream recipe and use matcha as flavoring instead of vanilla. It’s best to add matcha gradually, and taste the mix several times to determine what you like the best…. Some powder are stronger than others. Please note I like things less sweet, so you may want to add more sugar if you like things sweeter. (and if you use more sugar, you may need more more green tea powder to balance the sweetness.) Let me know how you like it.

Hi Simone, thank you for your comment!
This recipe works for other flavors. I often make this with vanilla beans. Heavenly!
If you want to make green tea ice cream, you pretty much need green tea (matcha) powder. Using regular green tea will not work.
Where do you live? Depending on the place, I can suggest a place you can get some, or there are many available online. Good luck!

Thank you for your comment, Crystal! I couldn’t wait either, and ended up eating a little bit of the matcha cream before freezing, and right after the second processing. lol.
Let me know how you liked it. : )

Thanks for the comment, sherry.
Yes… this will work with other creative combinations…

So about moche recipe… Are you talking about the recipe to make this into a mochi ice cream like those at the restaurant? or just Japanese mochi to eat separately? Let me know… I do have the recipe (FYI… making mochi ice cream is takes quite a bit of work.)

Thanks for the comment! Yes, it is possible and easy. It’s delicious with other ingredients or just with vanilla. (If you have some, use vanilla beans for the best results!) Let me know how it turned out.
