2. 2

   Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

3. 3

   Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Discard the pandan leaf once cooled.

4. 4

   In a separate saucepan, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca starch, water, and knotted pandan leaves for the cendol jelly.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

5. 5

   Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a translucent, sticky paste.

    While the cendol sets, prepare the coconut milk base by gently heating the coconut milk and salt in a small saucepan until warm, but not boiling.
