Method

  1. 1 Cook the palm sugar syrup with pandan leaves and let it cool completely.
  2. 2 Boil the tapioca pearls for 12 minutes, then soak them in cold water until they become translucent and separate.
  3. 3 Cook the jelly, then cut it into small cubes, and cook the red beans with a little sugar until they remain whole.
  4. 4 Shave the ice until it's very fine, like cotton, instead of using crushed ice cubes.
  5. 5 Finely shaved ice is necessary; ice cubes will dilute the drink immediately instead of providing a smooth, refreshing coolness.
  6. 6 Arrange each ingredient in a glass, then top with shaved ice and pour in syrup, coconut milk, and condensed milk.
