Chef's Tips
For a richer flavor, use a high-quality, premium vanilla ice cream.
Adjust the amount of matcha powder to your taste preference. Some prefer a stronger matcha flavor.
Don't let the matcha sit for too long after whisking, as it can settle. Pour it over the ice cream immediately.
Experiment with different flavors of ice cream. Black sesame or green tea ice cream would also pair well with matcha.
If you don't have a whisk, you can use a small fork to mix the matcha and water.
