Green Bean Soup in coconut milk

I watch my mum boil them thick with an orange peel and sago. The below recipe is offered by a friend who used to run a catering service. He says he's heard of boiling red beans with orange peel, but not green beans. Hello, appreciate diversity..

Ingredients :
- green beans
- water (qty up to you)
- pandan leaves crushed and tied into a knot
- rock sugar
- coconut milk from one nut (optional)

Method:
Cook beans and pandan leaves in water, reduce heat when it starts to boil. When beans are well-cooked, add sugar. When sugar is dissolved, stir in the milk.
Remove pandan leaves and serve hot.
