Red Bean Jelly (Mizu Yokan) 水ようかん – Japanese
I was intrigued when I heard about Red Bean Jelly as I have never thought about the making it into jelly before.

Fruit Punch with Jelly| Summer Party Series
This is a easy refreshing drink that is great for Summer Party. It looks good if you have a glass jug pitcher. With your choice of your favorite carbonated drink (eg. Sprite or Club Soda etc), the fruits really bring out the fruity revitalizing of the whole drink and make it pleasantly satisfying. You can use a variety of fresh fruits you want. I used strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and mangos. It was really delicious! I like to make it extra special and adding some jelly topping to each cup and garnish them with mint leaves. Yummy!
