Hi D P . Thank you for the compliment 🙏 Glad that you like it. 😀😀
I just made this as I was feeling really heaty. Thanks for the receipe. Was great, although I didn't have any pandan leaves or syrup so I used 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and cane sugar instead. It isn't as good as pandan but it does give a bit of the similar fragrance. I also omitted the soaking stage as I was in a hurry. Seems to work ok if you boil it a bit longer.

Hi David T, thank you for trying this recipe 😄 Yes, vanilla extract and cane sugar works as well 😄 It is okay to skip the soaking process if it will be boiled longer - the important part is the barley should be soft & tender 😄 Thank you for sharing your experience 😄

@@jadelaraniochristine9485 hi, just my humble opinion : try to reduce the amount of winter melon sugar (冬瓜条)and slightly adding a little more water towards the end and make it come to boil again before serve.
The pandan leaves should be taken out after 5-10 mins, they leave a bitter aftertaste if boiled too long.

Once store them in the fridge they tend to become thicker and more concentrated.

Perhaps you can try with brown sugar, however, the measurements will have to be to taste as brown sugar is less sweet than white sugar. Cane sugar is also an alternative. Hope it helps 😀
