Favorite recipes with matcha

[VikingKaj (Retired !)]

From the ice cream thread:

@VikingKaj

I have had all of these in Japan 30 years ago. I do not find green tea or red bean paste ice cream to be “Delicious”. In fact I had to control my gag reflex the first time I had them since I was with Japanese business partners.

Matcha is an strange bitter flavor that tastes awful in ice cream, they throw tons of sugar in it to disguise this.

Red bean paste is sweet and cloying in an annoying vegetable kind of way that also is not good in ice cream.

If you were raised on these flavors then maybe I could understand.

But I’m sorry, but I just detest them. Again, awful. They taste yuckie.

@VikingKaj

Let’s face it people if we are stepping to the counter we will try the tea or bean ice cream maybe once.

Then it’s back to peach, pralines and cream, cherry vanilla, Rocky Road, black cherry, French vanilla, etc.
