To complement these dishes, Purple Rice offers Cha Yen (Thai Iced Tea), a beloved beverage that perfectly balances the spiciness of Thai cuisine. Made from strong black tea leaves, sweetened with sugar and condensed milk, and served over ice, Cha Yen is both refreshing and indulgent. The addition of evaporated milk gives it a creamy texture, making it a delightful accompaniment to any meal.
