Green Tea Bingsu (Korean Shaved Ice)

If you do not have a shaved ice machine, you can make bingsu using the same method for making a granita—it’s not quite the same, but still provides a refreshing cold bite. This recipe is milk-based, so it is much creamier than granita. The condensed milk prevents the base mixture from freezing rock-hard, so you can easily scrape it into fluffy flakes once it is frozen.

Note that the quality of your matcha (green tea) powder will affect the green color of the ice. Feel free to add natural food coloring to brighten the green, if your matcha is a bit dark.
