How to choose good, plump red beans
- You should pay attention to choosing the right small, round red beans instead of kidney beans which are larger.
- Opt for beans that have a bright red color, are free from pests, and show no signs of mold or unpleasant odors.
- Choose beans that are plump and round; if you press them with your fingernail and they are still hard without crumbling, they are fresh red beans.
- You should avoid selecting beans that are too large, as these beans often do not taste as good, have fewer nutrients than smaller beans, and usually create a slight astringent taste when eaten.
Tools to use
How to make Red Bean Matcha Milk

Soak and cook red beans
Rinse 100g of red beans clean, then soak overnight for the beans to soften.
Place a pot on the stove, add the soaked red beans, and a little water to cover the beans by about 2 small finger lengths. Cook over medium heat for about 1 hour until the water is lower than the beans.
Next, drain the water in the pot, add just enough water to cover the beans, a little salt, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Stir well over medium heat until the beans are completely soft.

Blend the matcha milk mixture
Add 2 teaspoons of finely sifted matcha powder, 250ml of unsweetened fresh milk, and 1 tablespoon of honey to the blender. Then, blend the mixture until well combined.

Distinguishing matcha powder from green tea powder
- Matcha powder is a fine powder made from 100% young buds of the green tea plant. This powder is different from green tea powder in terms of nutritional value and price, as green tea powder is only ground from 30% young tea buds and the remaining 70% is young tea leaves.
- Matcha powder has a bright green color and a bittersweet aftertaste, unlike green tea powder which has a dark green color, may have a slight yellowish tint, and has a bitter astringent taste.
