Pandan is the defining aroma of Thai kitchens, used to perfume rice, custards and sweets. The long green leaves are cut and dried, then brewed as a simple, comforting infusion.
Taste & aroma
Sweet, grassy and nutty, with a warm vanilla-like fragrance that fills the room as it steeps. The cup itself is pale green-gold and naturally mellow.
How to serve
Steep 5–8 minutes and drink hot, or serve it iced with a little honey — the vanilla character works particularly well cold. Pandan also pairs naturally with lemongrass and with coconut milk. For quantities and timings, see how to brew dried pandan leaf tea.
- Hot: 2–3g per 250ml cup, water just off the boil; steep 5–8 minutes, covered
- Iced: 5g per 250ml, brewed hot at double strength, sweetened while hot, then chilled
- Cold brew: 5g per 500ml of cold water, 8–12 hours in the fridge
Naturally caffeine-free, so it can be enjoyed at any hour. Store in a sealed container, away from heat and direct sunlight.
