8 leaves of Pandan
5 Buko (Coconut) not too hard, not too soft- Grated to strips
Water from 5 Buko (approx. 10 cups)
3 cans of Nestle Cream
2 cans of Condensed Milk
2 bars of Green Gulaman
1 Cup Sugar

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Boil buko (coconut) water from the 5 coconuts together with 8 pandan leaves that are individually twisted to break the fibers and expose the juice. Simmer for 20 minutes.
2. Before adding 2 bars of gulaman, make sure you remove the pandan leaves and check if the remaining coconut water is equal to 8 cups – 1 bar of gulaman is good for 4 cups of liquid. If it is not 8 cups, less will mean hard gulaman and more than 8 cups will result in mushy soft gulaman. Ensuring gulaman is well-dissolved stir well. Add sugar while mixing. Do this for 5 minutes.
