This is great served with a fruit compote on the side like mango or strawberry.

Yields: 8 servings

Ingredients:
  • 500 ml Heavy Cream
  • 500 ml whole milk
  • 1 Star Anise
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 teaspoons gelatine
  • 3 teaspoons Green Tea Powder (Matcha)
1. Place the first four ingredients in a pan together and bring gently to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes then remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain to remove the spices.

2. Meanwhile, put 2 tablespoons of water into a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatine over the top. Heat gently until clear, and stir into the cream mixture.
