Nom Yen[edit]

Nom Yen is a popular Thai beverage known for its distinctive pink color and sweet, creamy taste. It is a non-alcoholic drink that is often enjoyed as a refreshing treat in Thailand, especially during hot weather.

Ingredients[edit]

Nom Yen is primarily made from the following ingredients:

Evaporated milk
Sweetened condensed milk
Sala syrup (a type of syrup made from the fruit of the salak palm, which gives the drink its pink color)
Ice

Preparation[edit]

The preparation of Nom Yen involves mixing evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk with sala syrup. The mixture is then poured over a glass filled with ice. The drink is stirred to combine the ingredients thoroughly, resulting in a creamy, sweet beverage with a vibrant pink hue.

Cultural Significance[edit]

Nom Yen is a staple in Thai street food culture and is often sold by street vendors alongside other popular Thai drinks such as Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee. It is particularly favored by children and those with a sweet tooth due to its sugary taste.

Variations[edit]

While the traditional Nom Yen is made with sala syrup, variations can include different flavored syrups or additional ingredients such as coconut milk for a richer taste. Some modern versions may also incorporate boba or jelly for added texture.
