    Matcha and Strawberry Ice Cream

    When the words healthy ingredients and dessert collides, you run to the kitchen.  Matcha Green Tea and Strawberry Ice Cream is one of those recipes that not only produces the most beautiful emerald hue, but is also crazy delicious.  
    Matcha, meaning “powdered tea” is made from a whole green tea leaf that is turned into a powder form which makes it super versatile to use. This type of tea is much more potent when you are eating or drinking it because you are ingesting the whole leaf and not just a leaf infused in water.  Not only is Matcha rich in vitamins, it is also loaded with antioxidants which is believed  to be protection against heart disease and cancer.  While it is known that there is there is a substantial amount of caffeine in Matcha Tea, it is actually prepared for Japanese Meditation Ceremonies and allows you to feel alert yet calm.  Unlike the highs and lows of coffee, the reaction to the caffeine that is in Matcha Tea is due to the natural substance called l-theanine, which gives you the feeling of relaxation.  

    Now that we are in the hottest part of the year, ice cream is really all we want and need to cool us off.  I made a classic ice cream base with matcha tea whisked into the custard before freezing it in a traditional ice cream machine.  Although you can enjoy the matcha ice cream on its own, I chose to throw in fresh chopped strawberries to add another element of flavor.  Matcha and Strawberry Ice Cream is the perfect way to end your day!
