作法
- 於厚底鍋中將在來米粉、太白粉與鹽連同香蘭汁與300毫升水攪勻。中火持續攪拌5分鐘直至混合物明顯變稠並從鍋邊脫離——像很硬的粥。
- 備好一碗冰水。將熱麵糊壓過濾網或專用cendol壓器至冰水中——粉條會落下並定形成蟲狀略凹凸的cendol。傳統壓器能賦予獨特形狀。
- 將cendol置於冰水中冷藏備用——浸於水中能維持形狀。
- 做棕櫚糖漿：將棕櫚糖、水、香蘭葉放入小鍋。煮8分鐘至糖完全融化、糖漿略稠。放涼，棄香蘭葉。
- 做椰漿配料：將椰漿與鹽以小火加熱——切勿煮沸否則會分離。冷卻至室溫。
- 盛裝：將cendol從冰水中瀝起放入高玻璃杯。加一大匙棕櫚糖漿。鋪上碎冰。慷慨倒入冰涼椰漿。飲品應呈分層：底部深色糖漿、中段冰塊、上層白色椰漿，綠色cendol散落其中。配長湯匙享用。

文化背景
Es cendol（在某些爪哇地區也稱dawet）是印尼街頭文化的甜飲，由透明玻璃推車販售，綠色cendol、白色椰漿與深色棕櫚糖漿透過玻璃如剖面般可見。這道菜遍及東南亞（馬來西亞稱cendol、泰國稱lod chong）但印尼版本以濃郁香蘭味cendol與gula merah（棕櫚糖）糖漿最具代表性。西爪哇的萬隆是cendol非官方首都，雅加達銷量最大。
