Ingredients
20 pandan leaves
1 cup (240 ml) filtered water
Instructions
- Trim off the white bottom part of the pandan leaves and wash them thoroughly.
- Cut the leaves into 1/2–1 inch pieces and place them in a blender.
- Add filtered water and blend until the leaves are fully pulverized.
- Strain the mixture through a strainer or cheesecloth to extract the liquid.
- Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
For a stronger extract, let it sit overnight in the fridge and use the concentrated sediment at the bottom.
Frozen pandan leaves work well if fresh ones are unavailable.
Mix with coconut milk for a richer pandan base in desserts.
Freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
