Pandan Simple Syrup
Description
The Pandan Simple Syrup recipe blends pandan leaves with water until pulpy and then strains the mixture to obtain a green pandan juice. Sugar is dissolved into this juice over medium heat until simmering, yielding a sweet and aromatic syrup. The syrup should be cooled and stored refrigerated for up to one week, and may need stirring before use as ingredients can settle. This process highlights the delicate essence of pandan leaves, offering a naturally extracted flavor that enhances beverages, cocktails, or Asian-inspired desserts. The syrup provides a balanced sweetness and a gentle pandan fragrance, making it a useful staple for adding a subtle, authentic touch to recipes.
Ingredients
- 8 pandan leaves fresh or frozen, chopped into 1" pieces
- ½ C water
- ½ C granulated sugar
Instructions
- Add the pandan leaves to a high-powered blender.
- Next, pour in ½ C water to the blender.
- Blend the leaves until it reaches a pulp-like consistency.
- Strain the green pandan juice into a small saucepan. (Save the pulp for Pandan Cold Brew Coffee, if you like).
- Add sugar to the pandan juice and stir over medium heat, until it reaches a simmer and all the sugar has dissolved.
- Carefully remove from heat and transfer the syrup to a clean, sterilized jar.
- Cool and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Note: You may need to give the syrup a stir/shake prior to using.
Notes
- The recipe yields approximately half a cup of syrup.
- Store the syrup in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Shake or stir the syrup before each use to recombine settled ingredients.
- Keep the pandan pulp to use in other recipes such as Pandan Cold Brew Coffee, if desired.
