Here’s where to find jasmine-themed food and drink specials for the month of Mother’s Day

Thailand’s Mother’s Day is just around the corner (August 12). In Thai tradition, the jasmine flower is the symbol of showing love and gratitude to mothers, which means that a lot of Bangkok venues are currently releasing menu items featuring the white flower with a distinctive sweet fragrance. Most of these food and drink specials will be available all month long, so you’ll have more than a day to show some love for momma.

This Chinatown gem is best known for serving creative desserts like its Sriracha Sauce and Salted Egg Coconut ice cream, and has just launched two new flavors of the month for August. Keeping with the Mother’s Day theme, Jing Jing’s kitchen has infused jasmine flowers in milk or water to create an intense blossom-y Jasmine Sorbet (THB50 per scoop) and a creamy cup of Milky Jasmine (THB80 per scoop).

Jing Jing Ice Cream Bar and Cafe is located on Soi Charoen Krung 14, only 200 meters away from the newly opened MRT Wat Mangkorn

Artisan tea specialist Te (stylized as TE) launched a Mother’s Day special menu set that will last until the end of August. The highlights include the Mother’s Day Special Blend that puts together jasmine green tea with jasmine flowers, pandan leaf, licorice and bael fruit. It’s available in both hot and cold for THB180 per pot.

If you’re into both ice cream and tea, then we would recommend you to try the TE Float. It’s the aforesaid tea blend, but shaken with ice and homemade longan honey syrup and topped with a coconut-flavored scoop of ice cream called Tropical Wonderland. The float is THB155. 

The menus are available at both branches of Te: on the fourth floor of Siam Discovery, and on Soi Thonglor 25.

They are priced at THB50 each.  

The tea, which comes in a blend of blue and white colors, is made in-house from green tea leaves picked from Thailand’s mountain regions. The drinks will be available until August 31 at every Cha Tra Mue store nationwide.
