Description

Refreshing pandan juice made from fragrant pandan leaves, infused with simple syrup for a naturally aromatic and sweet beverage served over ice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pandan leaves
  • 2.5 cups water
  • 4 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Wash the pandan leaves thoroughly. Cut 2 of the pandan leaves into 1-inch lengths, giving about ½ cup of leaf pieces.
  2. Combine ½ cup of pandan leaf pieces with ½ cup of water in a blender. Blend until the leaves are broken down, then strain to extract ½ cup of bright green pandan extract.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of water, 4 tablespoons sugar, and the remaining 2 pandan leaves (cut or knotted). Simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the syrup with pandan aroma. Let it cool.
  4. Mix ½ cup pandan extract with 2 cups pandan-infused simple syrup. Chill in the refrigerator.
  5. Serve the pandan juice over a glass of crushed ice and garnish with fresh pandan leaves if desired.

Notes

  • For a stronger flavor, allow the pandan leaves to steep in the syrup longer.
  • You can adjust the sugar to taste for more or less sweetness.
  • Serve immediately over ice for the best refreshing experience.
