It is very easy to make your own fragrant pandan leave water. 

Just buy about ten pandan leaves from the wet market or supermartket. Wash them thoroughly clean with cold running water. Then knot each of them, to squeeze out some of its juice. Another reason for knotting these leaves, so these long leaves can be accommodated comfortably inside a pot.


Fill a pot of water and place the knotted pandan leaves in it. Cover it with the lid. Then let it simmer for an hour or so.

Once it is done, remove the leaves and let the pandan-flavored water to cool. If you prefer to be slightly sweet, you can add some rock sugar into it. Once it is cool, keep it in the fridge.

That's all. Just pandan leaves and clean water. You should try making this cooling aromatic pandan water, instead drinking all those sugar-laden carbonated drinks.
