Let the pandan leaves soak in the green bean milk for 5 minutes and then remove them.
Tip: You should only soak the pandan leaves in the green bean milk for about 5 minutes to extract the fragrance; do not soak for too long as it will make the milk have a strong pandan flavor.Once you have removed the pandan leaves, remember to wait for the milk to cool slightly, just warm enough around 50 – 70 degrees Celsius, then add 1/2 of the coconut milk and the prepared pandan leaf water into the container.
Close the lid again and select the “Herbal Milk” mode for about 20 – 30 seconds, then press the “On/Off” button so that the pandan leaf water and coconut milk can blend into the green bean milk!
Note: You should not add pandan leaf water and coconut milk while cooking the green bean milk or when the milk is still hot, as this will cause the milk to lose its color and become sour.
