Ingredients - Serves 4

Rinse the mung beans under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a large pot, add the mung beans and water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the beans simmer for about 2 hours, or until they are soft and broken down.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on the beans to extract as much liquid as possible.
Discard the solids and let the liquid cool to room temperature.
Sweeten the mung bean milk with sugar to taste, then refrigerate until chilled.
Serve the mung bean milk cold.
