[Chickenmonkeyy]

Yeah you have a bad quality camera

But other then that I liked it!

Can I substitute the dairy milk with soy milk because I want to make some for my class. Some students are lactose intolerant. I am doing a presentation about Japan, and you are able to bring some kind of food from a country you're doing to score extra points.

[pyhsiao]

@hahalolwth1 I've never tried it with soy milk. I guess you could experiment and let me know how it turns out. I would imagine that it wouldn't be exactly the same, but good enough. I know many recipes you are able to substitute soy for dairy milk and there usually isn't too much of a compromise in product. Let me know how it turns out if you do it. Maybe you should make 2 batches (one dairy, one soy)...b/c the dairy version is just so yummy!

[FrankyHorror]

Do you know if there's any way to make it with actual green tea instead of the powder? Thanks :)

[pyhsiao]

@FrankyHorror I don't know. I think you would get an entirely different product since green tea and green tea powder are so different.

[CaptainHooksHook]

@FrankyHorror just evaporate (boil it until there are no more liquids) the freaking green tea and u'll get green tea 'powder'.

[foxinsocks88]

This is my favorite ice cream! thanks for posting

[bianxkrish23]

I'm gonna try this today but instead of green tea I'll use coffee :) hope it will turn out good. my first one was a "fail"

[pyhsiao]

@bianxkrish23 good luck this time! if it's any good, let me know.

[leannemint]

Can you make more videos?

[pyhsiao]

@leannemint maybe one day...any requests?

[SqueeshFeesh883yurz]

@pyhsiao You should make a video on how to make frostings, find a new frosting for each week.

Choose like 7 or 8 different frostings and make them from scratch and show us your finished product. :)

I loved the video.

[pyhsiao]

@greendayandponys This sounds delicious...and I just made homemade Nutella so it will be perfect. Great timing. Thanks for sharing.

[xolilayxo]

I just finished trying out this recipe, and it's sooooooooo good :D thank you so much for putting this up!

[jameswray50]

"it looks hard" that's what she said lol!!!

[pyhsiao]

@greendayandponys it doesn't really taste like green tea at all....you should give it a try! it's very refreshing and not overly sweet ( :

[pyhsiao]

You can try an Asian grocery store if you have one in your town. I know you can order in online too.

[SweetMillefeuille]

@pyhsiao WOW You bought the same matcha powder as me! Now I feel assured. =)

[iheartmakeup96]

Where can you purchase the Matcha green tea powder? I live out of the states though :S

[pyhsiao]

@AhaTralala Is it rough/hard AFTER the 4 cycles of stirring (with 45 minutes in between each cycle) and overnight freezing?? If so, this is normal. You may have to thaw it out in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before eating it. If it is rough/hard before the freezing process? If so, this is NOT normal. You may need to better mix your ingredients and make sure to strain the mixture before freezing. Let me know if I this helps.

[AhaTralala]

@pyhsiao Yeah AFTER the 4 cycles. I tried buying the ingredients and I even searched online. This morning I finally found matcha powered and I'm re-trying it. o: If it doesn't work again, I might need to ask you again .DX

[pyhsiao]

@AhaTralala I really hope it works. I promise the green tea ice cream is worth the trouble. It is so delicious!

[AhaTralala]

@pyhsiao xD It worked(:<3 ITS REALLYY GOOD.(: Thank you so much. ;DD

[pyhsiao]

@AhaTralala Ahh. I'm so so glad it worked! Enjoy!

[thelidiots99]

How long does the ice cream usually last?

[pyhsiao]

@thelidiots99 I wish I could tell you, but honestly, it doesn't last more than a day after I've made it. Plus, the

recipe doesn't make that much. It's just enough for about 4 people to have a bowl.

[AhaTralala]

Hm.. I can't seem to make it. >.<

[pyhsiao]

@AhaTralala What happens when you make it? Maybe I can help you figure out what's happening.

[AhaTralala]

Hm.. I can't seem to make it. >.<

[fatousfish]

This is the best YouTube video ever!!!!!!

[Liberaltedjo]

oooh man, i want to try but where i can buy the greentea powder ?

[pyhsiao]

@Liberaltedjo you can find it in any Asian specialty market. And don't just take "green tea" and try to make your own powder. it's not the same.

[Liberaltedjo]

@pyhsiao im in Indonesia, in Bali, ahahah........ called matcha powder ya ?

[pyhsiao]

@Liberaltedjo Yes, I think another name is "matcha powder". Let me know if you make it and how it turns out.

[pyhsiao]

@Dinopikachu To answer your question about adding the milk: After heating the milk, remove it from the heat. Yes, add a few spoonfuls of it (the milk that you just heated) to the green tea powder.

[pyhsiao]

@Dinopikachu I wish I could help you with the title of the song. All I know is that I used a sound clip that was already available via iMovie (the software that I used to make the video). Sorry.

[pyhsiao]

@dinopikachu i've never tried with egg whites. i know most ice cream recipes only use the egg yolk. I guess you could give it a try.

[pyhsiao]

@pocowi Straining the mixture just helps to result in a smoother product. I guess it wouldn't drastically change your product if you skipped this step.

[Pocowi]

Is there a reason it has to be strained?

[clarakyme]

@Pocowi smoothness? there's usually lumps in the custard (the yolk, milk, green team mixture)

[AlexisPancake]

What was the temp. on the stove when you were heating the cream?

[pyhsiao]

@AlexisPancake I put my stove at low-med setting when heating the milk. Ideally, the temperature should be ~170 degrees F, but I don't often take the temperature. Just be careful not to let it boil. Let me know if you have any more questions and how your ice cream turns out when you make it.
