Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 5-10 pandan leaves
- 4 Cups water
- 3 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
Instructions
- 1
Add the 1 litre of water and 5-10 cut up leaves to a pot and bring to a simmer.Note: DO NOT use boil continously over high heat as we don't want to destroy the light pandan scent.

After simmering for minimum 5-10 minutes, the tea will have turned light green.(Simmer for 10 minutes if you have 5 leaves, 5 minutes if you have 10.)
- 3
Add in the palm sugar or brown sugar when still hot. (If not, it'll be difficult to dissolve.) Add as much sweetener as you need but I recommend half a block of palm sugar or 3 Tablespoons of light brown sugar.Note: if using honey, wait for the tea to cool before adding.

Scoop out the tea and portion into cups, leaving the leaves in the pot. (They're big enough that you don't have to sieve them out.)
