Instructions: Place all the ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up raspberries.

Puree mixture in a food processor. Strain and cool in the refrigerator.

Serve spoonfuls of ice cream surrounded by raspberry sauce. Garnish with raspberries and slices of Japanese pears if desired.

Note:
If you cant find powdered tea, blend regular green tea in a coffee or spice grinder until powdered.

When I first had this (at a Japanese restaurant), they garnished it with Kiwi. I thought it was mint ice cream, that is until I tasted it...talk about a big shock, it was DELICIOUS though!
