Instructions

For Green-colored Pandan Syrup

Pour the thick, dark green pandan extract and sugar into a pot. Heat on medium till the sugar has all dissolved.
Allow to cool then store in the fridge in a sterilised, airtight container.

For Almost Colorless but still aromatic Pandan Syrup

Bring bruised pandan leaves, sugar and water to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes then switch off the fire and allow to steep till cool.
Strain and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Optional for best taste: Once cool, wring with your hands to extract all the flavor. (You can also blitz in but your syrup will be greener.)

Notes

Be careful as heated sugar is VERY hot!
Pandan extract vs Pandan Juice
Pandan extract is the thicker "sediment" that forms at the bottom of pandan juice when it settles. Syrup made with pandan juice will still be green but less flavorful.
To make pandan rich syrup: Use 2 Cups of sugar to 1 Cup of liquid (pandan juice/ Pandan paste + water.)
Method 3 to make pandan syrup using artificial pandan paste, essence or extract: make a simple syrup with the sugar and water, then stir in the pandan extract etc after the sugar has dissolved.
