To make a matcha sherbet, you'll want to create a refreshing and creamy treat that's slightly tangy, thanks to the addition of fruit or citrus. Here’s a simple recipe for making matcha sherbet:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar (or adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional, for tanginess)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor depth)
Instructions:
-
Mix the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to break up any clumps. Set aside.
-
Heat the milk and sugar: In a saucepan, combine the whole milk and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, but do not let it come to a boil.
-
Combine matcha with liquid: In a separate small bowl, whisk a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the sifted matcha powder to make a smooth paste. Gradually add this matcha paste back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk mixture, stirring constantly.
-
Add the cream: Once the matcha is fully dissolved into the milk, stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently for another 2–3 minutes until it’s well-combined and smooth.
-
Cool the mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat, and add the lemon juice and vanilla extract if using. Let it cool to room temperature, then chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.
-
Churn the mixture: Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
-
Freeze the sherbet: Transfer the churned mixture to an airtight container and freeze for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
-
Serve: Scoop the sherbet into bowls or cones, and enjoy a creamy, tangy, and refreshing matcha treat!
