Green Bean Dessert Soup 綠豆沙
There is almost nothing so soothing and cooling to drink on a hot summer's day than Chinese Green Bean Dessert Soup 綠豆沙. My grandma used to make big pots of this wonderful soup for us, store it in the fridge and we would help ourselves to big delicious bowls to cool ourselves off after a hot day of play.
