Authentic Thai Recipe for Pennywort Infusion Drink

Long before it was discovered by those fancy juice bars in the west, the clover-like herb known as Pennywort has been known by Asian cultures for its health benefits. In Thailand we eat the herb raw as a salad ingredient, in soups and stir-fries, and we make a delicious sweet drink from the juice. The flavor of the plain juice is strong and grassy tasting, so we tone it down with water and sugar to make our drink known as Nam Bai Bua Bok.
