Ingredients
• 10 pandan leaves
• 200ml cooled, boiled water

1) Clean the pandan leaves under running water to remove dirt.

3) Add the leaves at a time, and pulse the blender several times to mince them. 
4) Once the leaves are minced. Add cooled, boiled water, Pour it into fine stainer and squeeze the juices out into a glass jar. 
5) Leave them in the fridge overnight or after 24 hours. 
6) You'll notice it getting colour separating. The parts of the top layer is light become lighter, and the base layer is dark green become darker which are concentrated ''Pandan Extract''. Store in the fridge and keep well for 4-5 days.
