📜 History

Nuoc Mia, or Vietnamese sugarcane juice, is a beloved street drink throughout Vietnam, where sugarcane has been cultivated for centuries. The drink is made by pressing fresh sugarcane stalks through hand-cranked or motorized crushers, often with a squeeze of calamansi lime. Street vendors selling nuoc mia from mobile carts are an iconic sight in Vietnamese cities. The drink represents the vibrant street food culture that defines Vietnamese urban life.
