Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 4 cups coconut juice
- 14 ounces condensed milk
- 2 cups young coconut, shredded
- ice cubes
For Gulaman
- 0.70 ounces agar agar bars
- 3 cups young coconut juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 drops pandan extract
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine coconut milk, coconut juice, and condensed milk. Stir until well-blended.
- Add young coconut strips and gulaman cubes.
- Chill for about 1 to 2 hours. Serve in glasses over ice.
For the Gulaman
- In a large pot, soak agar-agar in coconut juice for about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring regularly, until agar-agar melts.
- Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Continue to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until agar-agar is completely dissolved.
- Add pandan extract and stir to combine.
- Remove from heat. Pour into a flat dish and allow to cool in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until agar-agar is set and hardened.
- Cut into ½-inch cubes.
Notes
- Use coconut juice instead of water to soak and cook the gulaman for more buko flavor.
- Shred the gulaman bars finely and soak for at least 30 minutes so they'll dissolve quickly when cooked.
