How To Make Pandan Extract
This is an easy method to make your own pandan extract. Pandan (sometimes pandanus or screw pine) is a pant that grows in SE Asia that has an gentle flavor that is sometimes compared to vanilla. Because it is hard to describe flavors, I will say that it does indeed have a gentle vanilla note, but it also has a coconutty and grassy taste as well. It is usually added to cakes, drinks, rice and crepes. This video shows an easy way to extract the pandan. you can also just knot it and throw it into a pot of rice or soy milk when it is cooking and remove it once it has cooled. You can also juice it in a juicer that can handle greens. (not all juicers can) this will be a far more concentrated version of the extract. I made about 2 cups of pandan extract in this video, and it all went into making 2 cups of pandan rice. The rice was light green and had a beautiful perfumy aroma.

What are the uses for the extract and how long can it be kept in the fridge?

YOU SPEAK! I like it! I've never used this extract before. I've seen it in Asian markets and was recently thinking it would be a good natural food coloring. Excited to hunt for it this weekend!!! as always, great vid!

I have never seen that stuff did you get it in Canada.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll be making with this extract! (it's such a shame I can't find these leaves anywhere where I live. Perhaps someday though~)

"Send it to the compost!" [Thunk!] If pandan is synonymous with screwpine, I know the first thing I'm going to make with this--a tonic recipe in an Indian cookbook I've had for fifteen years. I gave up trying to source fresh screwpine, because nobody seemed to have it, but there are so many more import stores around now, that I'll have another search. Thanks for posting : )

This was different than your normal videos. I feel we get more of your natural style in this. Is this a mix of acting and your normal voice?
