Buko Pandan is a dessert-drink that combines the flavor of coconut and screwpine leaves. It’s one those drinks that we love to prepare during celebrations at home if we aren’t in the mood for it’s thicker, creamier counterpart : Buco Pandan Salad.
I am guest posting at Ray’s blog today and I’m featuring this drink plus the recipe so you can make it at home. This is very easy to do..
Head on over to AngSarap.net for the full post and recipe.
Buko Pandan Drink
Author: Peachy Adarne
Ingredients
- 6 pandan leaves, washed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 bottle of sweetened nata de coco
- meat and juice of 2 large coconuts, {meat shredded to strips}
- 3 cups tapioca pearls
- 1½ cans of condensed milk
- 5 cups water
- 1 packet of green gelatin
- Green food color - optional
Directions
- Boil the cut-up pandan leaves in water until the water is infused with pandan flavor. Remove the leaves from the water and throw it out.
- Cook the gelatin according to packet directions but use two-thirds of the pandan infused water. Reduce the amount of water needed so you’ll get firmer gelatin.
- Cut the gelatin into cubes when it solidifies.
- Strain Nata de Coco to remove the sugar syrup.
- In a large pitcher, combine shredded coconut meat, coconut juice, tapioca pearls, nata de coco, condensed milk, cubed gelatin, water and what’s left of the pandan-infused water.
- Add green food color, if desired, just for presentation.
- Mix well. Put in the fridge and chill for 2 hours.
This is such a refreshing dessert. I can drink this probably any time of the day! I’m hopping over to Ray’s to check out the recipe. Thanks for sharing.
