Equipment

  • Pot and heat-proof whisk
  • Heat-proof mug

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Whole Milk Substitute: coconut milk, coconut cream mixed with water in a 1:3 ratio or soy milk. I don't recommend using oat milk.
  • 1- 1½ Tablespoons Pandan Syrup For directions on making your own natural pandan syrup, click through this link. Pandan syrup already contains sugar so I don't feel the Pandan Latte needs anymore sweetener but feel free to add to taste. For how to sweeten without adding sugar, click here.
  • 1 shot espresso Substitute: ½ Tablespoon of instant coffee powder mixed with ½ Cup of hot water
  • ¼-½ teaspoon Pandan Paste Optional- this is necessary if you want the vibrant green color. Pandan syrup on its own is too light of a green to change the color of the milk noticeably.

Instructions

  • Gently heat the milk over a low fire till steaming. This helps the milk to froth more easily.
  • Once the milk is almost steaming, switch off the fire then add the pandan syrup and, if using, pandan paste.
  • Whisk vigorously till a stable, thick foam appears.
  • Transfer the pandan latte to a heat-proof mug. Pour in your coffee or espresso.
  • Serve and enjoy with some pandan kueh on the side!

Notes

For Pandan cold-brew coffee
Simply soak pandan pulp (leftover from making pandan juice and pandan extract) with coffee grounds overnight.
For Pandan Coconut Latte
Froth ¼ Cup of milk with ¾ tablespoon of pandan syup (Optional: add ¼ teaspoon of pandan paste for extra color.) Pour the green foam into ½ Cup of coconut water followed by ¼ Cup of strong coffee (or 1 shot of espresso.)
