Green tea ice cream with mint and cinnamon - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of milk for this ice cream?

Yes, you can substitute whole milk with other types like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk for a dairy-free version. Keep in mind that the texture and flavor might slightly change.

I don't have fresh mint. Can I use mint extract?

While fresh mint provides the best flavor, you can use mint extract. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to taste, as extracts can be quite potent.

How long will this green tea ice cream last in the freezer?

Homemade ice cream is best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks for optimal flavor and texture. Store it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

Can I make this recipe without condensed milk?

Condensed milk contributes to the creamy texture. If you want to avoid it, you could try using a mixture of heavy cream and sugar, but the result will be different and potentially require more freezing time.

What are some good toppings for this ice cream?

Besides the suggested chocolate and nuts, consider trying fresh berries, whipped cream, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of matcha powder for an extra green tea boost.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

This recipe is already vegetarian! Just ensure that any toppings you choose are also vegetarian-friendly.

My ice cream is too hard after freezing. What can I do?

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften it slightly. This will improve the texture.

Can I use regular green tea bags instead of loose leaf?

Yes, you can use green tea bags. Use 3-4 bags to achieve a similar strength of flavor. Remove the bags after steeping.

Can I skip the repeated beating steps to save time?

While you *can* skip the beating steps, the ice cream will likely have a more icy texture. The repeated beating helps break up ice crystals and creates a smoother result.
