Instructions
- In a non-stick pan over low heat, dissolve brown sugar in coconut water until it turns into a thick syrup.
- Once the syrup has thickened, add the coconut strings and mix until they are fully coated. Let it simmer until the syrup is reduced and thickens further.
- Once the syrup has thickened, remove the pan from heat and place it on the kitchen counter with a trivet or hot holder underneath.
- Wait until the syrup has stopped bubbling and has cooled down a bit. Then stir the mixture continuously until the syrup turns opaque as it crystallizes and becomes thick and sticky.
- Scoop a portion of the mixture and place it on top of a banana leaf. Form into a flat round disk and do the same with the remaining mixture.
- Let it cool down completely and harden and then remove them from the banana leaves gently.
- Transfer to a plate to serve or to an airtight jar for storage.
