Patbingsoo - Korean Ice Flake Treats!

Via http://blog.daum.net/mohara/16142919
One of the most popular desserts in Korea is Patbingsoo, a Korean ice flake treat.
Traditionally, the ice flakes were made of pure water, and we put red beans and soft rice cakes on top, but there are NUMEROUS variations these days! "Pat" from "Patbingsoo" is 'red bean' in the Korean language. "Bingsoo" is 'ice flakes' in Korean.

The trend is, to keep the traditional form and make the ice flakes out of milk, as you can see from the left one in the above picture. The right one in the above picture is Green-tea-Bingsoo of which the ice flakes are made out of green tea and milk.

Writing this post made me miss Patbingsoo!!! Fun fact: It is more fun to eat Bingsoo in the winter!
