What it is
What pandan is
A leaf, dried and milled. The green in the bag is that leaf.
The leaf
Pandan is a leaf. The shop sells that leaf dried and milled, and it sells mixes that already have the flavour in the bag.
The plant is Pandanus amaryllifolius. The flavour in the mixes comes from that leaf. Plants of the World Online.
Leaf
How it tastes
Grassy-sweet. A little nutty.
The green is the leaf. Start small, then taste.
In the kitchen
Two recipes already on the site. One uses the cookie mix. One uses the powder, and it is not a pot of rice.
The powder
Pandan Leaf Powder is the bag you use yourself. Whisk it into a little hot water until it is smooth. Stir that into a batter, or into milk. Taste, then add more if you want it stronger.
01 Into a little hot water, until it is smooth.
02 The paste, ready to stir.
03 Into batter, or into milk.

Cookie boxes post in the UK. Cloud lattes are Leicester collection or local delivery only. That menu is on the order page.
