Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500ml) thickened cream
  • ½ cup (120gms) granulated sugar
  • 2 table spoons (30 gms) matcha powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Remove from heat and allow to cool for five minutes.
  • Add salt and vanilla essence, stir well.

Notes

Matcha powder is often available from Asian supermarkets or can be ordered online.
