Pandan Extract Liquid 12:1 Concentrate 80g (2.82oz)

After experimenting with different dried pandan leaves and extracts, I'd say this is my favorite. The aroma is bright and floral, with a slightly bitter aftertaste. You can add umami flavors (i.e. milk, flour, eggs, basically cakes and custards) to offset the bitterness. Bear in mind, it's not a metallic bitterness like you get from adding too much food coloring to your recipe; that's just what a drop of this extract tastes like on its own. The consistency is syrupy, the color is dark green, and it comes in a glass bottle. A little does not go a long way. Be prepared to use the entire bottle to get your recipe to taste right. Yes, there are cheaper, greener, and more intensely flavored extracts out there, but they are to pandan what a watermelon jolly rancher is to fresh watermelon. From a food quality standpoint, I think this extract is the best one I've found. Here's a recipe for raw pandan ice cream* that will get you started: 5 whole eggs 1/2c sugar 1-1/2c whole milk 1-1/2c heavy cream 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1/8tsp salt 2tbsp matcha powder 1tbsp vanilla extract 3tbsp pandan extract Cream the eggs and sugar on medium speed for 5 minutes. This is important, don't cut down on the mixing time. Mixing with sugar denatures the proteins in the eggs and makes your ice cream smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, salt, and matcha powder and mix for 5 more minutes. And vanilla and pandan, mix for 1 minute. Cover and store in the fridge for 24 hours. This step is important too! Don't process this mixture right away. Let it sit overnight. Then gently whisk it to break up the matcha clumps before churning in your ice cream machine. I use the 2 quart Kitchenaid ice cream bowl, but any ice cream maker will work. Churn the mixture in your ice cream maker for about 20 minutes and transfer it to the freezer for a couple hours to thicken up. Enjoy! *You don't need to use unpasteurized eggs or milk; there's just no heat in this recipe. If uncooked eggs weird you out, and you want to scald your eggs and cook the custard, go right ahead but add the vanilla, matcha, and pandan at the end, and still refrigerate it for 24 hours before churning into ice cream.

Authentic flavor and pricy. If you make tea from this extratch just add a little bit (small drop) and try it first because it has very strong and thick liquid. I will say it is best one i have ever try so far

I was excited to find this extract as several people I cook for have allergies to ingredients in many standard pandan flavoring extracts. I've used it in multiple recipes and the flavor is excellent. Now if only I could get ube extract from the same company.

Wonderful flavor and color. It's delicious in cocktails, but takes quite a bit for the flavor to stand out: 1-1/2 to 2 tsp per cocktail which makes it expensive at the normal price.

The product is well packaged which preserves the aromatic nicely. It smells fresh and imparts beautiful mellow vanilla and melon fragrance to the food it is used to prepare. As with any aromatic, it is slightly bitter ad oily when tried on its own. I think this bottle will last me a while considering that very little product is needed for recipes to be effective.

Tastes great. I love putting this in my latte with a little bit of vanilla syrup. Does not taste artificial.

I bought this based on the good reviews and however when tried to make the pandan flavored waffle, it has no pandan taste even I added a lot. Don’t waste your money on this.

I really wanted to like this. Upon opening, it smells wonderful. A direct taste from a small teaspoon was very surprising. But, when I mixed 5g into my double espresso with milk, I absolutely could not taste it at all. I'm no expert, but I've made my own pandan syrup using actual pandan leaves, 200g palm sugar, and 200g water (and a lil bit of salt and a dash of vanilla extract), so I was expecting some sort of hint of the pandan at 5g (that's what I use for my syrup). But nope, absolutely no taste. It was very disappointing. You're better off making your own syrup. It is a little tedious, but it is way better and costs much less. I've attached some pictures of when I made my own so you know I'm not full of it lol. Overall, 2/5. Absolutely not worth it for this price.
