Ingredients:

Red Bean Ice:

  • 150 g red beans

  • 75 g sugar 

  • 4 dl water

  • Evaporated milk (NOT sweet condensed!!)

  • ice


How to:

Rinse the red beans, then let them soak overnight in plenty of water.

The next day, rinse the beans again and add them to a medium pot. Add the water and bring to boil, then on medium/low heat simmer with lid on for 30 minutes. Add sugar and cook for another 15-30 minutes. You want the beans to still hold their shapes but be easy to squish. 

Let it cool and refrigerate it.

Once it is cooled, fill your serving glass  ⅓  with the beans. Fill the rest of the glass with ice. Pour water over it until there is only 2 cm left, then add evaporated milk. Serve with straw and spoon! :)
