Description

With my daughter's birthday just around the corner, it's time to celebrate big and make her special day even more magical. We decided to make pink milk Thai Nom Yen (นมเย็น), one of her favorite Thai drinks, a delightful creamy sweet treat that matches her favorite color and her love for delicious drinks. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Hale's Boy Sala Syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups oat milk or milk of choice. 
  • 1 tablespoon evaporated milk. It adds a nice creamy balance to the lovely pink drink. Highly recommend adding a tablespoon or so to top off your drink.
  • Crushed ice. A must for a full-on experience of this refreshing Thai drink. 

*The more sala syrup you add, the sweeter and darker pink drink you'll get. Feel free to adjust as needed for your taste preference. 

*I used oat milk, and it was excellent. Almond, hemp, cashew, cow's, and soy milk all work great. I find that coconut milk clashes too much with the flavors of Sala syrup, and it takes over the drink. 

*Get an ice shaver like this, or crush some ice manually in a ziplock bag.


Instructions

  1. In a tall glass or a cocktail shaker, add Hale's blue boy Sala syrup. Adjust the amount as needed. The more you use, the sweeter and darker the color of your pink drink. 
  2. Add milk. I used oat milk for my recipe. Feel free to use any milk choice. Coconut milk is not recommended as it will change the flavor profile entirely and will no longer be a Nom Yen drink. 
  3. Now comes the magical part. Stir the two liquids together, use a stainless steel spoon, and watch the red syrupy liquid turn into a beautiful pink! 
  4. Add a generous amount of crushed ice to tall serving glasses. Pour the pink drink into each glass. 
  5. Add evaporated milk to complete the drink. Add up to 2 tablespoons if preferred. Add a straw for sipping, and your delightful drink is ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

  • Make a snow cone with your sala simple syrup.
  • You can adjust the sweetness of the Nom Yen according to personal preference. Add more Sala syrup or sweetened condensed milk if you like it sweeter. 
  • If you prefer a non-dairy version of Nom Yen, you can use almond or oat milk as a substitute for whole milk.
  • You can top the pink milk with a whipped cream dollop and colorful sprinkles for a more indulgent treat.
