Ingredients
- 4 cup water
- 3 fresh or frozen pandan leaves
- 1 tbsp sugar. Optional. (I didn't use sugar for this recipe)
- 2-3 slice ginger. Optional
- 1-2 tea bags of choice. Optional
Instructions
- 1
Rolled-up pandan leaves, then use an end strand to wrap them into a tight bunch. Slice the ginger, then use a knife to smash both herbs just enough to help release oils lightly.
- 2
Add the ginger, pandan, and sugar to the water. Add other ingredients here if you choose to use any. (lemongrass, tea bags, kaffir lime leaves, lemon slices, etc.)
- 3
Bring water to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to medium-low. Let the tea steep for 25-30 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Remove the pandan leaves and ginger from the hot water. Strain the tea if you have some chunks of herbs. Pour into your favorite tea cup and enjoy it hot!

For a cold tea, let the hot tea cool to room temperature, add a few ice cubes, and garnish with your favorite herbs! Place the rest of the tea in the fridge for more later. Enjoy it plain or sweetened with honey or sugar, according to taste.
