matcha ice cream

Frozen tea treat

Matcha ice cream is ice cream flavored with matcha, the finely ground green tea powder used in Japanese tea ceremonies.

It has a distinctive pale green color and a slightly bitter, earthy flavor that balances the sweetness of the ice cream.

A staple at Japanese restaurants and increasingly common in Western ice cream shops: I'll have one scoop of matcha ice cream.
