You can make authentic matcha ice cream just by mixing milk! I found a confectionery ingredient called "Morihan Uji Matcha Ice Element" and tried it.


"Ice no Moto" made from matcha from "Morihan", a long-established teahouse in Uji, Kyoto. You can make flavorful Uji green tea ice cream just by freezing it with cold milk (200ml (6.76us fl oz)).

The contents of the bag are green powder that gives off a rich scent. The particles are coarse, but when milk is added and stirred for about 2 minutes, it dissolves evenly. Cool the resulting liquid in the freezer for about 3 hours to complete the matcha ice cream (for 4 people).







The first thing you feel when you put it in your mouth is a crispy texture like gelato. It melts quickly and spreads in your mouth. It has a strong taste like drinking matcha itself, but it also has a strong sweetness, so it seems to be appreciated by both sweet and non-sweet people! If you add azuki beans, white balls, black honey, etc. to the accent, you can enjoy even more luxurious taste.


"Morihan Uji Matcha Ice Element" is sold at confectionery material stores and mail-order sites. The price range is around 350 yen. Why don't you try this summer with handmade ice cream that you can enjoy the deliciousness of freshly made ice cream?
