What is Pandan?

First find pandan leaves, which you can get at your local Asian market, frozen or dried pandan leaves will be easier to find compared to fresh. Then in a saucepan over high heat, mix in ½ cup water and ½ cup sugar, then 25 pandan leaves, and cook until sugar dissolves. Turn the fire to low, then cover, and infuse for 20 minutes. Once it’s cooled, strain syrup with a fine sieve.
