Method

Pour the coconut milk into a blender and, using scissors, cut the pandan leaves into 1 in [2.5 cm] pieces into the coconut milk. Process until the leaves are the size of little specks. Let sit for 10 minutes. (If using pandan extract, skip this step and pour the coconut milk directly into a small pot. You will add the pandan extract in step 5.)
