If you’re like me - seriously addicted (short of swooning) to all things green tea - green tea ice cream is pure heaven on earth! All that yummy (and healthy) goodness in one food item! To get my fix for creamy, astringent green tea ice cream, here are some of my simplest solutions:1. Got the dough? Feel like splurging? Run off and get a pint of Haagen Dazs at your grocery. The best yet!
2. Got less than 100 pesos but have a full tank of gas? Drive off to Gyozatei on Tomas Morato, Quezon City. Two wonderful scoops with mochi balls and a drizzling of sweet mungbean paste will only set you back 75 pesos. If the drive is quite a ways, have a full Japanese meal first then cap it off with your ice cream! (On second thought, that’ll set you back more than 100 pesos!)
3. Got more than 200 pesos and you want to simply pig out (girls, hormones?) or there are quite a few of you who want to eat, go to the ice cream section of your grocery and look for Arce’s Green Tea ice cream. (Pardon me, I don’t know how long it’s been in the market but there were only two half gallons there, so either its new in the market or in demand!) While it’s a little sweeter than I’d normally like (it’s sweeter than options 1 and 2), it’s a great deal at around 200 pesos for a half gallon.
A much harder fix would be to make your own. But macha (gree tea powder) is pretty pricey and cream, more so. Now, if you’re in Japan, that’s another story … I envy you!
If you have any other sources of green tea ice cream, would really like a heads up! Share it here! Please?
