How to choose fresh and delicious cherries
- Usually, cherries with bright red skin will have a sour taste, while the sweet ones have a darker red color.
- Additionally, you should choose cherries with fresh green stems, firmly attached to the body, not separated.
- Avoid buying cherries that feel too soft when pressed, have unusual small bruises on the surface, or show signs of insect bites, as these are signs that the cherries have been stored for too long and are no longer usable.

Make pandan leaf extract
Then, take a blender and add 5 cut pandan leaves along with 1 liter of water, and blend on medium speed for 5 – 7 minutes until the mixture is smooth, then turn off the machine.
Next, you can use a sieve or a clean cloth to filter out the residue, keeping only the extract!
Tip:- To achieve a beautiful pandan color and reduce bitterness, soak the leaves in warm water for about 5 – 10 minutes before blending.
- If you don’t have a blender, you can crush the pandan leaves and mix them with water, then strain to get the extract.
Next, place a pot on the stove with all the filtered pandan extract and 100g of sugar, cooking over medium heat for 5 – 7 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved, then adjust the taste before turning off the heat.
