Bring milk, cream and green tea to a low simmer. Remove from heat and
let steep for 15 minutes.
Beat egg yolks with sugar and cornstarch, using a hand mixer on
medium speed until thick and pale – mixture should resemble
mayonnaise. On low speed, gradually beat in 1 cup (250 ml) of the warm
milk mixture. Stir the egg mixture into the milk mixture. Place over
medium heat and stir until thick, and temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) –
do not boil. Pour through a strainer. Stir in vanilla and a drop or two of
green food colouring if desired. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap placed
directly on the custard. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
