Preparation Steps
1
Pour 150 ml of hot water over the green tea bags or loose leaf tea and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain and let cool completely.
2
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Do not let it boil!
3
Stir the cooled green tea into the warm milk and cream mixture.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until light and creamy.
5
Gradually whisk a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
6
Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
7
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Let cool completely.
8
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
9
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir it with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat this for 3-4 hours.
10
Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
