Prepare the mung beans
The two types of mung beans you bought should be rinsed once in water, then soaked in a bowl of water for about 1 – 2 hours for the beans to swell.
Drain the mung beans in a colander.

Cooking and Blending Mung Beans
Put the soaked whole mung beans into a pot, pour water to cover the beans, and cook on high heat. When the water boils for about 10 minutes, check if the beans are soft; if so, drain excess water, leaving about 1 tablespoon of water in the pot.
Add 30g of sugar to the pot of mung beans, mix well, and cook for another 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves and absorbs into the beans.
For peeled mung beans, cook them until soft, then drain all the water and blend the beans with 2 tablespoons of fresh milk and the remaining 70g of sugar in a blender until smooth.

Pouring into molds
You open the lid of each ice cream mold, add a little whole mung beans that have been coated with sugar, then pour the mixture of milk and mung beans into the mold until full.
