Dried Pandan Tea Leaves

Jump To Recipe

Jump To Video

I have some leftover pandan leaves on hand and thought I shared with you lovely people what I usually do with them. After washing them thoroughly, I would air-dry them before baking them in the oven. Followed by blitzing them into powder. They can be kept for a long time in a sterilized jar, preferably in the freezer.

I thought I make some tea outta them and at the same time, showing off my new drip pot. Lol! If you have been following me, you would know that I posted a pandan tea recipe a few months back. I honestly think that this version is better. You have to be the judge of that. Cheers!

PS: This is not a miracle tea. Please consult a doctor.
