Special Precautions and Tips:
- When making matcha ice cream, it's important to use high-quality matcha powder. This will ensure that the flavor is well-balanced and not bitter.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe. Simply freeze the ice cream mixture in a shallow dish and stir it every 30 minutes until it is frozen. This will take longer than using an ice cream maker, but it will still result in a delicious treat.
