Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and a splash of the hot cream mixture until smooth. This will help to dissolve the matcha powder and prevent lumps from forming.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring the hot cream mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly.
4
Return the saucepan to the stovetop and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
6
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7
Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze it for at least 2 hours to set.
