Instructions

1

Prepare the Pandan Infusion

In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the pandan leaves and let them simmer for about 10 minutes to extract the flavor.

2

Infuse the Thai Tea

Remove the pandan leaves and add the Thai tea leaves to the boiling water. Steep for 5-7 minutes, then strain the tea into a separate bowl, discarding the leaves.

3

Mix the Coconut Base

In a mixing bowl, combine the strained Thai tea with coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

4

Prepare the Batter

In another bowl, whisk together tapioca flour, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the coconut mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

5

Steam the Mixture

Pour the batter into a greased steaming dish or individual molds. Steam for 20-25 minutes or until set.

6

Cool and Serve

Let the okashi cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares or desired shapes. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
