- Make Matcha Ice Cream:

Notes
- Make sure your ingredients are cold before mixing. This helps the ice cream churn better.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a container and stir every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
- For a creamier texture, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Store both ice creams in airtight containers in the freezer. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
- Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap before sealing the lid to maintain its texture.
- You can customize these ice creams by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips to the vanilla ice cream or crushed cookies to the matcha ice cream.
