Boil water together with 8 pandan leaves that are individually twisted to break the fibers and expose the juice. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Before adding 2 bars of gulaman, make sure you remove the pandan leaves and check if the remaining water is equal to 8 cups – 1 bar of gulaman is good for 4 cups of liquid. If it is not 8 cups, less will mean hard gulaman and more than 8 cups will result in mushy soft gulaman.

Ensuring gulaman is well-dissolved stir well.

*

Add sugar while mixing. Do this for 5 minutes.

*

Pour through a strainer into cooling trays. Wait till it cools and hardens, then put in fridge.

*

Meanwhile, mix the grated buko with the 3 cans of cream and 1 can of condensed milk.

*

Add kaong if you prefer.

*

Get gulaman from ref and cut into 1 cm cubes.

*

Mix with buko mixture.
