Guest Post : Peachy from The Peach Kitchen featuring Buko Pandan Drink

This Buko Pandan Drink is one of our favorite party drinks. It’s more like a dessert-drink because it’s chunkier than your average juice and it’s kind of like a thinner form of the usual Buko Pandan Salad. It is made with screwpine-infused green jelly, nata de coco, shredded coconut, coconut juice, tapioca and condensed milk.

Hello Everyone! My name is Peachy and I blog over at The Peach Kitchen. My blog features simple, easy and tasty recipes which my family loves. I also feature recipes which I am trying for the first time. Some of which goes through a taste test and if my family approves, then it will be added to our regular menu.

I am very family oriented and I’d like to think that our family parties rock. Family occasions and celebrations becomes truly enjoyable because we turn them into themed parties. Some of those that we had are:  New Year’s Eve Camping Party to Welcome 2013, My Daughter’s Rock Concert, My Daughter’s  Luau Birthday Party and this Fall Themed Tea Party.

This Buko Pandan Drink is one of our favorite party drinks. It’s more like a dessert-drink because it’s chunkier than your average juice and it’s kind of like a thinner form of the usual Buko Pandan Salad. It is made with screwpine-infused green jelly, nata de coco, shredded coconut, coconut juice, tapioca and condensed milk.

Trust me. This is one amazing medley of flavors and texture.

Thank you so much Ray for inviting me to guest post here. It’s such a pleasure because I really love your blog!

Instructions

1. Boil the cut-up pandan leaves in water until the water is infused with pandan flavor. Remove the leaves from the water and throw it out.
2. Cook the gelatin according to packet directions but use two-thirds of the pandan infused water. Reduce the amount of water needed so you’ll get firmer gelatin.
3. Cut the gelatin into cubes when it solidifies.
4. Strain Nata de Coco to remove the sugar syrup.
5. In a large pitcher, combine shredded coconut meat, coconut juice, tapioca pearls, nata de coco, condensed milk, cubed gelatin, water and what’s left of the pandan-infused water.
6. Add green food color, if desired, just for presentation.
7. Mix well. Put in the fridge and chill for 2 hours.
