Equipment

  • 1 Pressure Cooker
  • 1 Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 100 grams pearl barley
  • 8 cups water
  • 3 pandan leaves tied into a knot

Instructions
 

  • Wash the barley thoroughly, and drain the water.
  • In your pressure cooker pot, add the barley and water.
  • Add the pandan leaves. You can tear the ends of the knot into smaller strips to get more of the essence out of the leaves.
  • Close and lock the pressure cooker lid. Turn the vent to Seal and cook the barley at high pressure setting, 20 minutes.
  • When the timer is up, wait for the pressure to fully release, and remove the lid. Remove and discard the pandan leaves.
  • Blend the barley together with its cooking liquid in batches, until very fine. Keep refrigerated, and consume within 3 days.
