  Add the washed pennywort into the blender, pour in about 60ml of clean water.

  Cover the lid and turn on the blender at low speed to blend the pennywort with the water first, then gradually switch to high speed, blending until the pennywort is finely pureed without any lumps.

  Next, pour the blended pennywort through a filter bag, squeezing to extract the pennywort juice, and discard the residue.

  Make pandan jelly

  First, mix 150g of white granulated sugar with 12g of agar powder.

  Put a pot on the stove, add about 1 liter of filtered water to the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, and then turn off the heat. After that, gradually add the mixture of sugar and agar powder to the pot while stirring continuously.

  Continue to stir the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves. Next, turn the heat back on and bring it to a boil over high heat for 5 minutes, skimming off the white foam to keep the jelly clear.

  After 5 minutes, reduce to medium heat and add 200ml of cream, stirring well until the cream is fully dissolved.

  Finally, add 2/3 of the pandan juice into the pot, stir well, and turn off the heat. Pour the mixture into a mold, let it cool, and place it in the refrigerator for about 2 – 3 hours for the mixture to fully set.

  Tip: When adding the agar powder, you must stir continuously; otherwise, the jelly will clump.
