Matcha Ice Cream

As I've said in the past, I love to use teas for my infusions and with everyone on a kick of Matcha, what better excuse than to turn it into ice cream (plus my coworkers were pushing for it)! The flavor resembles green tea bubble tea and always reminds me of our favorite Pho place! Our Septembers are still REALLY hot so it's a perfect refreshing treat. Cheers!
