Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried mung beans (skin removed)
2 cups aloe vera, washed and drained well*
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
tbs vanilla
Directions:
Wash mung beans really well and drain.
In a small pot over medium heat, bring mung beans with 2 cups of water to a boil. Quickly pour into sieve to wash under cold water. This procedure will ensure the mung beans are very well cleaned. Put mung beans back into the pot 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil again. That means simmer for 15 minutes or until all the beans are cooked. Add aloe. Bring back to a boil again and simmer for 10 minutes. Add sugar, syrup, and vanilla. Cook further for the sugar to completely dissolve. Serve hot or cold.
* Use a sharp knife to cut the aloe vera leaf into a few pieces to handle easily. Peel off the skin and cut into 1/2 inch wide matchsticks. Wash aloe under cold running water. Add 1 tsp salt to remove all the slimy juice and only leave the jelly-like solid. Completely clean until not sticky when touched.
