While cleaning out the shelves in the kitchen, the author found a can of boiled adzuki beans still in the can that had been bought during the year-end and New Year's holidays. I was thinking of ways to make it into a summery sweet, when I found a recipe for "Chilly Azuki Milk" on the website of Hataromo Foods. Attracted by its delicious appearance and simple recipe, I gave it a try.
Chilly Azuki Milk requires only three ingredients: boiled azuki beans (165g (5.82oz)), milk (250ml (8.45us fl oz)), and vanilla ice cream (as needed). After mixing the boiled adzuki beans and milk, pour the mixture into a bowl, top with vanilla ice cream, and you are done.

This is a very simple recipe, but I also discovered one pitfall. If you use a deep bowl, the boiled adzuki beans and vanilla ice cream will sink into the bowl and become hard to see. It is better to choose a shallow and small bowl to balance the appearance of the ice cream.
The chilly azuki milk is a delightful trinity of the melt-in-your-mouth ice cream, the crunchy texture of the azuki beans, and the smooth feel of the milk on the tongue. It would also go well with green tea ice cream or chocolate ice cream, so feel free to give it a try. For more details on the recipe, please visit the website of Hazaromo Foods.
