Red Bean Drink with Coconut Milk and Condensed Milk

This red bean drink is perfect as a refreshing treat or a light dessert. The creaminess of the coconut milk and condensed milk paired with the natural earthiness of the red beans makes it a flavor-packed drink you’ll want to enjoy over and over again.

  • Total Time: 25 hours
  • Yield: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of cooked red beans (either canned or homemade)
  • 1 cup of coconut milk (for that rich, creamy texture)
  • 1 cup of water from the cooked red beans (adds extra flavor and nutrients)
  • ¼ cup of condensed milk (this sweetens and adds creaminess)
  • Ice cubes (for some texture, a refreshing vibe)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Red Beans If you’re using dried red beans, soak them overnight and cook them in a pot of water until they’re soft and tender (45-60 minutes). If you’re pressed for time, canned red beans are a great alternative—just be sure to rinse them thoroughly.

After cooking the red beans, reserve 1 cup of the cooking water. This will add extra depth and richness to your drink.

Step 2: Blend the Ingredients In a blender, combine the cooked red beans, coconut milk, reserved red bean water, and ¼ cup of condensed milk. Blend everything until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more condensed milk to your taste.

Step 3: Add Ice & Serve (Optional) When blending ingredients together add a hand full of ice cubes for more texture, as well as to keep drink cool longer

Step 4: Sip & Enjoy! Your delicious red bean drink is now ready to be enjoyed. The combination of creamy coconut milk, sweet condensed milk, and soft red beans creates a delightful and unique flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness: Add condensed milk depending on your preference for sweetness.
  • For a thicker drink: Reduce the amount of red bean water or blend more beans to make the drink richer and denser.
  • Milk Options: If you do not want to use coconut milk, you can use whole milk or oat milk; just make sure the milk has a creamy factor!
