About this dish

Most of the cooked red beans are blended smooth into the milk, but a handful are kept whole and added at the end, so soft beans keep turning up as you drink.

Condensed milk takes the sweetness somewhere close to caramel.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Place 140 grams of tenderly cooked red beans and 120ml of water into a blender, processing until completely smooth and thick to create a rich and concentrated red bean paste base.

  2. 2

    Carefully set aside forty grams of the remaining whole cooked red beans in a separate bowl to maintain their shape, as they will be used later as a textured topping.

  3. 3

    Combine the prepared red bean base and 420ml of fresh milk in a pot, stirring constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture is thoroughly heated and steaming gently without burning.

  4. 4

    Stir in twenty-five grams of sugar, eighteen grams of condensed milk, and one gram of salt, then simmer for five minutes until all ingredients are perfectly integrated into a smooth consistency.

  5. 5

    Incorporate the reserved whole red beans and two milliliters of vanilla extract, heating for two additional minutes to infuse the deep flavors before turning off the heat and preparing to serve.

  6. 6

    Divide the finished red bean latte between cups and serve while warm.

    Stir once before drinking so the whole beans do not settle at the bottom.

Tips

If the latte is thick, stir from the bottom over low heat until the 420 ml of milk is evenly combined with the red bean base.
Add the 18 g of condensed milk after the sugar and before the salt, dissolving it completely so sweetness spreads evenly through the red bean base.
You can replace part of condensed milk with honey for a lighter sweetness.
