Equipment

  • Small pot
  • Fine mesh strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 cups water
  • 3 to 4 pandan leaves tied into a knot (or 1 teaspoon pandan extract)
  • 1 black tea bag or 1 teaspoon loose black tea
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar or simple syrup to taste

Instructions
 

  • Simmer the pandan leaves in the water for 5 to 7 minutes until fragrant.

Notes

  • Simmer the pandan leaves up to 10 minutes for a stronger aroma.
  • Coconut milk creates a richer, dessert‑like version.
  • Sweeten with pandan syrup for extra aroma and color consistency.
  • Use decaf black tea or rooibos for a caffeine‑free option
