Red Beans with Crushed Ice and Milk

This is a great summer's drink and healthy as well. In Cantonese it is called "Hung Dau Bing" literally translated it means Red Bean Ice.



Ingredients:
Soak the beans overnight
You will need a pressure cooker for best results
1 cup of Azuki Red Beans (from the Chinese Market) 
3 cups of water
Sugar to taste
Regular or Coconut milk or Coconut Cream

Method:
In your pressure cooker combine the beans, water and about 2 to 3 Tbsp of sugar. Let it cook for around 20 minutes.
Once it is done, make sure all the pressure is released from the cooker. Let the beans cool down. When ready to serve place the beans in a tall glass, scoop the crushed ice on the top and add your choice of milk. Place a straw and serve.

Enjoy your meal, Douzo Meshiagare (Japanese), Sihk faahn (Cantonese - Eat), Buon Appetito (Italian), Afiyet Olsun (Turkish), Smacznego (Polish) and of course Bon Appetit!
