This juice is made by boiling fresh green pennywort leaves. Its vibrant green color immediately signals its cooling effect! With added syrup and ice cubes, the drink retains the herbal taste of pennywort while delivering a sweet and refreshing sensation. As it enters the stomach, its cooling effect can be felt, making it the perfect beverage to beat the heat—one of the most beloved drinks among Thai locals.
You can find pennywort juice sold at street stalls and markets. A particularly famous stall is located on Yaowarat Road in Chinatown (2 Yaowarat Rd, Khwaeng Chakkrawat, Khet Samphanthawong, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon), and it has been selling this drink for at least 20 years. Thai locals often stop by for a large cup (only 20 Baht) and buy a few bottles (around 35 Baht each) to take home and store in the fridge for a refreshing drink anytime.
According to Thai websites, drinking pennywort juice in moderation provides many health benefits for women!
