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 😄

The pandan leaves should be taken out after 5-10 mins, they leave a bitter aftertaste if boiled too long.
