Steps:

• Whisk matcha powder in a bowl to remove any lumps; add a splash of milk and whisk until matcha powder is completely dissolved. Gradually whisk remaining milk into matcha mixture.
• Combine cream and matcha mixture in a pot over medium-low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk sugar and eggs together in a bowl. Pour 1/2 cup hot matcha mixture into egg mixture; mix thoroughly. Repeat with remaining matcha mixture. Pour mixture back into the pot.
• Cook and stir matcha mixture over medium-low heat until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours.
• Pour cooled matcha mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• In a large bowl beat the egg yolks with the sugar and salt. Set aside.
• In a heavy saucepan, scald the milk. Remove from the heat. Add the tea, cover and steep for 4 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pot, pressing with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Ladle 1/3 of the cream mixture into the eggs and whisk well to combine. Add all the egg mixture to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
• Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container and cool in the refrigerator, about 2 hours.
• Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a plastic container and keep in the freezer until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and stir over low heat until the sugar melts. Simmer 5 minutes longer, then stir in the rice wine. Remove from heat.
• In a small dish, dissolve the tea in one tablespoon of the sugar syrup, then stir the tea mixture back into the rest of the syrup.
• Stir in the milk and half and half. Chill.
• When the mixture is cold, place it in an ice-cream maker and churn it until thickened and smooth. Transfer to a container and freeze for an hour or two to firm it.

Steps:

• Lightly whisk egg yolks in a pan.
• Add milk and sugar to the pan and mix well. Put the pan on low heat and heat the mixture, stirring constantly.
• When the mixture thickens, remove from the heat.
• Soak the bottom of the pan in ice water and cool the mixture.
• Mix hot water and green tea powder together. Add the green tea to the egg mixture and mix well, cooling in ice water.
• Add heavy cream to mixture and mix well. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker, following the instructions that came with the ice cream maker.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix matcha powder and hot water and set aside.
• In a saucepan, mix together egg yolks and sugar. Then gradually pour in milk, mixing well. Place saucepan over low heat and stir mixture until it thickens. Remove thickened mixture from the heat and let cool.
• Transfer cooled egg mixture to a large bowl, and add matcha mixture. Mix well. Gently stir in whipped double cream.
• Pour this ice cream batter into an ice cream maker and churn for 20 minutes. Place in a plastic container and freeze for at least 2 hours. Remove mixture from freezer, stir well, and re-freeze for another 2 hours.
• Remove again from freezer to stir thoroughly, and then replace the ice cream to freeze for a final 8 hours, or overnight ( until completely set). The multiple freezing help create a creamier texture.
• Once ice cream is set, add 2-3 scoops to a serving bowl and drizzle with fudge sauce. Decorate with cherries and wafer biscuits to serve.

Steps:

• Combine milk and cream in a saucepan over low heat. Slowly stir egg yolks, sugar, and green tea powder into milk mixture until green tea powder is dissolved, avoiding liquid coming to a boil, about 5 minutes. Strain mixture into a bowl and cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
• Pour milk mixture into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions for ice cream.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream, half-and-half, and vanilla bean, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't scorch on the bottom. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), set aside to infuse for 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Whisking constantly, slowly pour the still-hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees, the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough yet. When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat and whisk in the green tea. Meanwhile, half-fill a large bowl with ice water. Strain the mixture into a smaller bowl to smooth it and remove the vanilla bean. Rest the smaller bowl in the ice water and let the mixture cool, stirring often, then continue according to the directions of your ice cream maker.

Steps:

• Bring cream, milk, and salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan and remove from heat.
• Whisk together eggs, sugar, and matcha in a bowl (tea will not be completely dissolved), then add 1 cup hot cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking vigorously. Whisk custard into remaining cream mixture in saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thick enough to coat back of spoon and registers 170°F on an instant-read thermometer (do not let boil).
• Immediately pour custard through a fine sieve into a metal bowl, then cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 1 hour.
• Freeze in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
