1
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
2
Heat the Mixture
Continue heating the mixture until it is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
3
Whisk Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are light and frothy.
4
Temper the Egg Yolks
Slowly pour about half of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
5
Combine and Cook
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

6
Add Flavorings
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
7
Chill the Mixture
Transfer the custard base to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.

8
Churn the Ice Cream
Once the custard is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
9
Freeze the Ice Cream
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
