Because this month's recipe is quite fast to make, we will also be making the yummy Red Bean Ice from Saucy-Spatula

Ingredients:
3/4 cup red beans, raw
1/2 cup plus 4 tbsp granulated sugar
3/4 water
4 cups finely crushed ice (almost close to shaved ice)
1 1/2 cup coconut milk
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk

Directions:
1. Cook raw red beans for an hour and a half until they become soft, and skin has started to fall apart from the beans. Keep enough water in the pot for at least 1" standing water on top for the entire duration of cooking the beans.
2. Drain, and return beans back to the pot.
3. Add 3/4 cup of water plus granulated sugar. Let sugar melt on very low heat for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
4. Then pour beans on a baking sheet to cool completely, then stick the baking sheet in the freezer until the beans are chilled.
5. Mix coconut milk and evaporated milk together. Set aside.
6. Using a food processor or blender, finely crush the ice.
7. To assemble, fill 2/3 of the glass with chilled red beans, 1/3 of the glass with crushed ice, fill the glass with the milk mixture.
