Ingredients

Milk

Pandan Jelly

  • 5 g konnyaku jelly powder
  • 500 ml water
  • 100 g sugar
  • 2 pandan leaves (30 cm each)
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Making the pandan jelly

  • Wash and pat the pandan leaves dry. Cut them into 1 inch strips.
  • Place the cut pandan leaves into a food processor. Add 100ml water and process them until fine.
  • Strain the processed leaves to extract the juice. Use a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer to ensure all the pulp is strained out. Squeeze the pulp to remove all the juice and discard the pulp.
  • Measure the pandan juice in a jug. Top it with water until it reaches 500ml.
  • Pour the pandan juice into a medium sized pot. Turn on the heat to medium low.
  • In a separate small bowl, measure the sugar. Add the jelly powder to it and mix well. Mixing well will avoid the jelly powder from clumping when added into the pandan water.
  • Add the sugar-jelly powder mix into the pandan water. Stir to mix.
  • Let the jelly cook until the sugar and the jelly powder is completely dissolved. THis should take approximately 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Once cooked, pour the jelly into an 8 inches square mold. Let is set completely at room temperature or in the fridge. The jelly will set quicker as it cools down.
  • Once completely firm, remove the jelly into a cutting board. To release the jelly from the mold, run a thin spatula along the sides of the tin. Place the cutting board over the mold and holding both intact, turn the mold over. Tap it lightly to release the jelly.
  • Cut the jelly into thin strips. Chill under ready to assemble the pandan milk.

Assembling the pandan milk

  • Divide the pandan jelly strips into 4 drinking glasses.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of pandan syrup into each glass.
  • Top the jelly and syrup with ice cubes.
  • Finally, pour in the milk and serve.

Notes

  • Homemade pandan syrup does not any color to the milk. If you prefer to make the pandan milk green, add some pandan extract or green food coloring.
  • To serve the milk warm, omit the ice cubes and warm milk slightly before assembling.
  • Ice cubes will dilute the milk, hence it is better to use chilled milk when making the pandan milk to avoid from having to use too many ice cubes.
