Method:

2. Also, soak the Boat Sterculia Seeds. It will grow into looking like something that totally lives under the sea. 🙂
3. Remove the seed and the skin from the soaked mixture and keep only the ‘jelly-like’ part.
4. Basil seeds need to be soaked till they expand/swell up as well.
5. Add the milk to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the condensed milk.

Notes:

• If you dont have or dont like the flavor of Pandan, omit it.
• Honeydew must be very fresh and blended only prior to mixing the drink.
• Careful not to add to much ingredients for soaking. We want just a quarter part of the jug filled with these ingredients.
