  • 3/4 cup red beans or green mung beams
  • 2 tablespoons condensed milk
  • 1 cup milk, or mix with evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk (optional)
  • Scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional, but consider it extra yummy if you have it)
  • Instructions

    To cook the red beans, soak the beans for 1 to 2 hours. Then cook the beans in large pot of boiling water, bring it to boil, then cover the lid and cook for 45 minutes.
  • 2
    Add some rock sugar at the end and let the beans cool completely.
  • 3
    Put milk in a ziploc bag, freeze for 1 to 2 hours, not completely hard. Use a fork to prick it to make shredded ice.
