Hello amazing drink friends, I hope you are always healthy. What drink have you made today?
Today I want to introduce to all of you one of the traditional drinks that is still inherent in Indonesia, namely "Es Cendol".
The name is unique, isn't it? Cendol ice is made from rice flour and tapioca which is processed and then molded, usually in a long shape and then served with the addition of brown sugar and coconut milk sauce.
Because the steps are long, I will immediately share with you the recipe and how to make it

30 grams tapioca flour
50 grams of rice flour
10 suji leaves
2 pandan leaves
350 ml water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pandan paste
How to make Cendol
• First, chop the suji leaves and pandan leaves, place them in a blender then pour in the blender water until smooth.
• secondly, after it is smooth then strain the pandan water, discard the dregs and take the water.
• third, add rice flour, tapioca, salt and pandan paste then stir until mixed well.
• Fourth, pour the mixture into a cooking pan over low heat (remember that this part must be cooked while stirring continuously so it doesn't burn)
• Fifth, if the dough has come together and exploded, it means the dough is cooked and ready to be used.
• Sixth, prepare a hollow mold like this or with a syringe. And prepare a container filled with drinking water and add ice cubes.
• Seventh, Mold it on a bowl filled with ice cubes so that the cendol can come off and not stick. Do it while the mixture is still hot so it's easier to shape.

50 grams of granulated sugar
200 ml water

1 bunch of pandan leaves
100 grams of powdered coconut milk
