Origin

Red bean ice tea has been around since the 1970s.^[4] Some places which serve the drink add in chewy flavored jelly. Red bean icy is common in Hong Kong style cafés, Hong Kong style western restaurants and Hong Kong style fast food stores, but some restaurants such as fast food stores usually serve it only in summer, and some of them add a ball of ice-cream to the red bean icy, so it is called ice-cream red bean icy.^[5]
