Ingredients
– 450 ml fresh milk
– 1 tablespoon MATCHAZUKI medium-grade matcha powder
– 40 grams sugar
– A pinch of salt
– A small amount of hot water
– Boiled red beans (as desired)
Instructions
1. Heat the Milk Mixture:
In a pot, combine the fresh milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Prepare the Matcha:
In a small bowl, dissolve the matcha powder with a little hot water, creating a smooth matcha paste. Stir the matcha mixture into the milk mixture, ensuring it is well incorporated.
3. Add Red Beans:
Pour the matcha-infused milk mixture into your ice cream mold. Gently add the boiled red beans, distributing them evenly as desired.

Place the mold in the freezer and let it freeze for about 2 hours or until the ice cream is partially set. Once slightly firm, insert a popsicle stick into each portion. Continue freezing for another 4-5 hours, or until the ice cream is completely solid.
5. Serve:
Once fully frozen, remove the ice cream from the mold and enjoy a cool, creamy treat with a rich matcha flavor and the satisfying sweetness of red beans.
