Nom yen

Nom yen (Thai: นมเย็น, pronounced [nōm jēn]) (also known as นมชมพู) is a sweet, iced beverage from Thailand.

Known for its distinctive pink color, this drink is a fusion of milk and sala syrup made from salak fruit.

It is widely enjoyed across Thailand and can be commonly found from street vendors and café, especially as a refreshing drink during the hot and humid months.

[2] Nom Yen and its key components, particularly sala syrup, are also utilized in various Thai desserts to add flavor, color, and sweetness.

The vibrant color of the sala syrup can be incorporated into frosting or fillings, providing both a visual and flavor element to the desserts.
