This recipe makes green colored pandan syrup. Despite the green color of the syrup, the color is not strong and when used in drinks and desserts, it is almost unnoticeable. If you prefer your syrup without the bright green color, when making the syrup, you need to skip the steps that require grinding the leaves and extracting of the green juice. Instead, simply knot the pandan leaves (or cut them into small 2-inch sizes) and add them to the water in the recipe. Boil the water with the pandan leaves. Once fully boiled, add the sugar and continue to cook until sugar is all dissolved. Strain the syrup and discard the leaves, and you have a pot of aromatic and fragrant, pandan infused simply syrup without the color green in it.
