Asiatic Pennywort Juice aka Nam bai bua bok (น้ำใบบัวบก)


Bai Bua Bok is the Thai name for Asiatac Pennywort. A green herb you will find everywhere as a creeper on the premises of the Thai Child Development Foundation and Eco-Logic Thailand. In our restaurant we serve a refreshing juice made from the leaves of the Asiatic Pennywort and we use the leaves for decorating drinks
