Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh kumquats
- 3 tablespoons Palm sugar
- 4 cups Water
- 2 leaves Pandan leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the kumquats thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Cut each kumquat in half and remove any visible seeds. Squeeze the juice from the kumquats into a mixing bowl and reserve the squeezed halves.
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil. Add the palm sugar, pandan leaves, and salt. Stir until the palm sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is aromatic. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the pandan leaves and allow the sweetened pandan water to cool to room temperature.
Combine the kumquat juice and the cooled pandan-infused syrup in a pitcher. Lightly crush the reserved kumquat halves and add them to the pitcher for extra flavor.
Stir well, then serve over ice cubes in individual glasses for a refreshing treat!
