Ingredients
- 150 grams Rice flour
- 20 grams Mung bean flour
- 800 milliliters Water
- 5 leaves Pandan leaves
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk
- 200 grams Palm sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the pandan extract for the cendol. Blend 5 pandan leaves with 200 milliliters of water, then strain the mixture to obtain a bright green pandan juice.
Step 2
In a pot, combine the rice flour, mung bean flour, pandan juice, and the remaining 600 milliliters of water. Stir well until all flours are dissolved.
Step 3
Cook this mixture on medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until it thickens into a smooth, jelly-like consistency and achieves a vivid green color.
Step 4
Prepare a bowl with ice-cold water ready. Using a cendol press or a slotted spoon, press the green mixture into the ice-cold water to form long strands of cendol. Ensure the strands separate as they enter the water. Set aside.
Step 5
For the sugar syrup, dissolve palm sugar in a saucepan with a small amount of water. Simmer gently until the sugar dissolves completely and forms a thick syrup. Allow to cool.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk with 0.5 teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavor without increasing sodium significantly. Stir well and keep chilled.
Step 7
To serve, place a serving of cendol in a bowl, add crushed ice, drizzle with palm sugar syrup, and finish with coconut milk.
Step 8
Enjoy this refreshing low sodium cendol immediately.
