Adzuki Ice Cream

Ingredients A:

1. 1 cup adzuki beans, rinse and soak for 1 hour
2. 1/3 cup brown sugar
3. 4 cups water
4. 2 teaspoons lemon juice or orange juice

Ingredients B:

1. 1 cup milk
2. 1 cup half or light cream
3. 4 egg yolks
4. 2/3 cup brown sugar
5. 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Preparation:

1. Combine the azuki beans, 1/3 cup of sugar, lemon juice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Simmer it on low heat for a further 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until the beans are soft.
2. Strain the cooked beans, and blend into fine texture with a blender. Refrigerate.
3. Mix egg yolks and brown sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until the mixture is thick.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and cream. Boil it over medium heat, slowly stir in the egg yolk mixture and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes until it is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla essence. Refrigerate.
5. Stir mixture A and mixture B together once they are cold. Freeze in an ice cream maker, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
