Korean Shaved Ice with Green Tea

Matcha Green Tea Bingsu (Korean Shaved Ice)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts Drinks
The defining characteristic of modern Bingsu is the 'snow-flake' texture, which is achieved by shaving a frozen milk-base rather than pure water. Milk solids and fat interfere with ice crystal formation, resulting in softer, smaller crystals that melt instantly on the tongue. Matcha powder is hydrophobic, so it is layered to prevent clumping.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Ice Shaver or High-Power Blender: You need to turn ice blocks into snow. A standard blender might struggle.
  • Fine Sieve: For dusting the matcha powder evenly without clumps.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Dairy

Instructions

1 ✓

Shave the frozen milk blocks using a machine or blender until it resembles fresh snow.

Tip: Friction creates heat. If using a blender, pulse in short bursts to prevent the motor heat from turning the snow back into slush.
2 ✓

Layer ice, dusting matcha powder in between layers, not just on top.

Tip: Matcha can be bitter in large clumps. Dusting it finely through a sieve ensures an even flavor distribution.
3 ✓

Top with red beans and drizzle condensed milk.

Tip: Condensed milk adds the necessary viscosity to coat the ice flakes without dissolving them immediately.
