INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Put the beans and 3 cups water in a small pot.  Bring to a boil.
Cover, turn heat to low and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the flame.
Let the pot sit, covered, for 1 hour. Bring to a boil again. Cover,
turn heat to low and simmer 30 minutes.  Add the 5 tablespoons sugar
and simmer vigorously, uncovered, for another 10 to 12 minutes. Cool
the beans in their liquid and then drain. Combine the 1/2 cup sugar
with 1/2 cup water in a small pot and bring to a boil. Turn heat to
VERY low and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Cool. Mix in the tea. (Taste as
you go; add more or less tea, as you like.) Pile a cup of shaved ice
in the center of each of four ice-cream bowls. Divide syrup over the
ice. Divide beans into four portions and scatter them over the top.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
