Matcha Kakigōri

Ingredients

• ½ tablespoon of culinary-grade matcha
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons of red bean paste

1. 1Fill the mold of a kakigōri machine with water and freeze until solid, at least 3 hours. (If you don’t have a kakigōri machine, you can make 8 ounces crushed ice in a blender, built-in refrigerator ice dispenser, or snow cone machine.)
2. 2Meanwhile, prepare the matcha syrup. Sift matcha and sugar together into a small heat-safe bowl.
3. 3Whisking continuously, gradually add ¼ cup of boiling water to the matcha and sugar mixture.
4. 4Let the syrup cool to room temperature and then transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
5. 5Use the kakigōri machine to shave the ice into a serving bowl.
6. 6Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk and matcha syrup, and garnish with red bean paste.
