There’s never too much matcha for us, so we love using green tea ice cream. If you can’t find any green tea ice cream near your local store, you can also use vanilla ice cream, or any nutty ice cream flavor like hazelnut or chocolate caramel. Soft serve will work perfectly fine too.

Any good quality matcha powder used for daily drinking would be a great pick to make the matcha tea. We recommend using our Superior Ceremonial Matcha Blend or Organic Ceremonial Matcha Blend for its delightfully smooth texture that pairs well with ice creams.
