- Water: 9 cups;
- Sugar: 1.5 cups;

Steps to Create the Delectable Summer Dessert: Pandan Agar-Agar with Coconut Milk Base
Step 1: Cleanse the pandan leaves, then cut them into approximately 3cm pieces.
Step 2: Place pandan leaves in a mortar, add a bit of water, and grind until smooth, or use a blender for a finer consistency. Add 1 cup of warm water to the pandan paste, squeeze to extract the essence, set aside. Strain through a sieve to remove residue and collect the liquid.
Step 3: Combine agar powder and 8 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. Boil for about 10 minutes until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the mixture bubbles, then turn off the heat.
Step 4: Scoop half of the agar mixture into a bowl. To the remaining half, add the pandan essence and mix well. Pour this mixture onto a tray. Let it cool for 2 minutes to form a thin layer.
Step 5: Once the coconut agar layer has lightly set, slowly pour the pandan mixture on top to create a layer. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate until firm. Cut into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle shredded coconut for decoration, and serve. There you have a delightful summer agar treat!
