Green tea ice cream (抹茶アイスクリーム Matcha aisu kurīmu?) or Matcha ice (抹茶のアイスクリーム Matcha no aisu kurīmu) is a Japanese ice cream flavour. This flavour is extremely popular in Japan and other parts of East Asia, and almost all ice cream manufacturers produce a version of it, including foreign vendors such as Häagen-Dazs and Baskin Robbins. The name matcha comes from a specific type of green tea used in the Japanese tea ceremony. Green tea ice cream is also sold in monaka form. It has been available in the United States since the late 1970s, primarily in Japanese restaurants and markets, but is currently moving into mainstream availability.[1] It also can be homemade.[2]
