In a large pot, combine the soaked adzuki beans with enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface. Cook until the beans are tender, which might take around 1 to 1.5 hours. Once the beans are soft, add sugar to taste and let it dissolve completely.
