Matcha (抹茶) is a fine powder Japanese green tea that is prepared and served at Japanese tea ceremonies. Although I have never been to a formal Japanese tea ceremony, both my sister and my cousins had tea ceremonies at their weddings to show respect to our older relatives. Green tea ice cream is made by combining matcha into a standard gelato base.
I'm perfectly content to savor the rich matcha flavor in my new gelato creation without ceremony. Homemade matcha gelato has a stronger and more layered flavor than the commercially-produced green tea ice cream. In fact, I just had my first bite of the day... before 7am.
