You're going to love this pandan latte! It's a creamy, pleasant way to start or finish your day. This latte is one of my favorite easy, tasty and healthy plant-based drinks; it's perfect for an afternoon break.
I usually gravitate towards coffee, especially on weekends when I have more time to enjoy it. On weekdays though, I typically don't have time to linger over coffee.
However, my consumption of coffee has gradually been going up, and I wanted to find a delicious alternative, which led me to make this soothing latte.
What is pandan?
Pandan is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia and South Asia. Its leaves are long, upright, and spiky. It is sweet with a grassy aroma. It is typically used in both sweet and savory dishes in Southeast Asian and South Asian cooking.

Be careful not to overfill your mug with your milk of choice to avoid spills. It's surprising how powerful that little milk frother can be!
Keep an eye on your saucepan because the mixture can suddenly foam up when overheated and overflow.
