Regardless, the waste is dry and finely grated. I  am going to use the waste for room freshener.

For the extract, I do put muslin cloth on top of the used strainer. In order to strain well the extracted liquid. Can see a lot of residue left on the right most in the picture.

I do was and wipe clean the pandan leaves before extraction process. In order to ensure no other unwanted insects or soil or dust stick on the pandan leaves. As this extract is also intended to be used for cooking. It is a tedious process, but worth it for me.

Until then, have fun in getting pandan extract from pandan leaves.
