    Pour coconut milk into a pitcher or mixing bowl. Stir in sugar, water, pandan extract if using, and a pinch of salt until sugar dissolves completely.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon half the pandan jelly noodles into each glass, nestling them into the ice.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the coconut mixture evenly over both glasses, filling each about three-quarters full.

    Stir gently with a spoon to distribute the jelly and coconut milk. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon.
