About the image: AI-generated serving inspiration, not a photograph of a kitchen-tested result. Pandan leaf and fresh coconut are flavor cues, not additional recipe ingredients.
Pandan and coconut make a fragrant cold drink without coffee or tea. This two-glass recipe uses a measured amount of water-soluble pandan flavor in a coconut-milk base, so you can compare aroma and sweetness before committing it to a café menu.
Use this product: Dolce Flav Pandan Extract, water-soluble formula #155. It contains propylene glycol and natural and artificial flavors, with no added colors. Choose it for flavor; it will not turn this drink green.
Development recipe: not kitchen-tested. Use 0.3–0.6% of the unflavored batch weight, added on top. Start with a small trial before scaling.
Iced pandan coconut milk for two
Time: about 5 minutes with cooled syrup ready. Yield: two drinks, about 251 g liquid each at the 2.5 g example dose, before serving ice.
Equipment: bowl or jug, whisk, two glasses and a scale suitable for small gram amounts.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Unsweetened canned coconut milk, stirred smooth | 220 g |
| Cold whole milk | 240 g |
| Plain 1:1-by-weight simple syrup, cooled | 40 g |
| Dolce Flav Pandan Extract #155 | 1.5–3 g; 2.5 g example dose |
| Ice | For serving; excluded from the 500 g liquid base |
To make the 40 g syrup: stir 20 g sugar into 20 g warm drinking water until dissolved, then cool. Avoid boiling away water. Weigh out 40 g of the finished, cooled syrup for this recipe.
- Stir the measured pandan extract into the cooled syrup. Use the lower end for your first comparison batch.
- Whisk the canned coconut milk until its separated cream and liquid are smooth. Weigh 220 g into your jug.
- Add the whole milk and flavored syrup. Whisk thoroughly until combined.
- Divide between two ice-filled glasses and stir. Taste the finished drink cold; whisk again if the coconut milk separates. Serve promptly and keep the milk ingredients refrigerated.
Measure the full drink base, not the syrup alone
The base is 220 g coconut milk + 240 g whole milk + 40 g syrup = 500 g before flavor. Use 0.3–0.6% of the unflavored batch weight, added on top: 500 × 0.003–0.006 = 1.5–3 g extract. At the 2.5 g example dose, the flavored liquid weighs 502.5 g. Serving ice is outside this calculation; melting ice will dilute the drink.
Approximate spoon option: about ½ metric teaspoon (2.5 mL). Using the published generic specific-gravity range of 1.03–1.06 at 25°C as an approximate g/mL conversion, that is roughly 2.58–2.65 g. It is within this trial range but is not the exact 2.5 g example dose or a lot-verified conversion. Grams remain the reference; use a marked 5 mL measuring teaspoon.
Extract, pandan paste and leaf juice are different ingredients
This formula contributes concentrated flavor, not the liquid volume, solids or color of pandan leaf juice or a colored pandan paste. Do not exchange them spoon-for-spoon. Keep the coconut milk, milk and syrup quantities in this trial unless you are deliberately developing a different base.
Likewise, canned coconut milk and a thin carton coconut beverage can produce different body. Use the specified canned ingredient for the first trial. A dairy-free version needs a separate texture and flavor test; the recipe above contains whole milk.
Allergen check: milk and coconut are ingredients. Check individual allergy requirements, ingredient labels and the exact flavor documentation before serving.
Choosing a size for repeat drinks
For a 2,500 g unflavored liquid base, the same development range is 7.5–15 g extract, with a 12.5 g example dose. Evaluate the actual serving ice, cold flavor balance and any separation before treating that arithmetic as a menu formula. No storage life or bottled-drink stability is established by this recipe.
Choose Pandan Extract for a small drink trial. If you are planning regular café service or commercial batches, ask about bulk pandan flavor with formula #155, your base ingredients, batch size, monthly volume and process. Confirm current pricing, availability and required product documents for the chosen size.
