Authentic Thai Pink Milk

Thai Pink Milk, also known as Nom Yen, is a sweet, creamy, and refreshing Thai drink made with sala flavoured syrup and milk. Its beautiful pink colour makes it especially popular in Thai cafés and street-food stalls.

Kift’s Tips

  • Use authentic Root afza the traditional flavour and bright pink colour.

  • Adjust the condensed milk depending on how sweet you prefer the drink.

  • For a creamier drink, add more evaporated milk.

  • Use chilled milk so the ice does not melt too quickly.

  • You can blend all the ingredients with ice to make a Thai Pink Milk frappe.

  • Add whipped cream on top for a dessert-style version.

Storage Instructions

Thai Pink Milk is best served immediately after preparation.

The mixed drink can be stored without ice in a covered bottle or container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before serving.

Do not store the drink with ice, as it will become diluted.
