The Base. In the bottom of a wide bowl, arrange the chosen heavy toppings (sweet red beans, jellies, corn).
The Mountain. Shave the ice directly over the toppings, forming a high, structured mountain. The ice must be fine enough to absorb syrup but granular enough not to instantly melt.
The Saturation. Vigorously drench the ice mountain with the brightly colored, floral syrup. The ice will instantly absorb the color.
The Emulsion. Pour the evaporated milk and a heavy drizzle of sweetened condensed milk over the top. The milk will streak down the sides, creating a visual marbling effect.
The Collapse. Serve immediately with a spoon. As it is eaten, the ice collapses into the sweet milks and toppings, creating a cold, slushy soup.
