Time 6m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon Thai black tea
1 cup of hot boiling water
2 teaspoons sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons evaporated milk (plus some more to sprinkle on top)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup of crushed ice

Steps:

  • First step is to boil water, I'm just using a pot, but you could use a water boiler or microwave
  • Take your tea sock and add about 1 tablespoon of black Thai tea. It's then easiest to put your tea sock into a bowl or big cup in order to steep the tea.
  • Pour 1 cup of boiling water into the tea sock, and push it in and out to steep the tea and extract all that flavr. Steep the tea for a few minutes until it turns nice and dark in color.
  • Taking a new cup, pour in 1 glass of hot tea
  • Add 2 teaspoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of sweetened condensed milk, and give it a nice stir
  • Then add 2 teaspoons of evaporated milk, and continue to stir the tea until everything is fully mixed in
  • Optional - A good Thai iced tea should have a little froth or some bubbles on top, so take 2 pitchers, and pour the tea from one to the other, with a bit of elevation. You could do this in a different way too, but it's pretty fun!
  • Take a cup and fill it all the way to the top with crushed ice
  • Gentry pour your hot tea mixture over the cup of ice
  • To give your Thai iced tea a final creamy touch, drizzle on some more evaporated milk onto the top of your cup
  • Add a straw, and you're ready to start slurping it down!

SWEET AND CREAMY THAI ICED TEA



Sweet and Creamy Thai Iced Tea image

This tastes exactly like the one you can get in a bottle at your local oriental stores. Make it yourself. It's a lot cheaper! This recipe is for 7 cups of Thai tea. You and your guests can sweeten it to your liking. Diabetics can add their own sweeteners. Thai tea mix comes in a 16 oz. bag and it is available in your local oriental stores or online (Amazon) http://www.amazon.com/Pantainorasingh-Thai-Tea-16-Ounce-Pack/dp/B001M23VEW I prefer Nestle creamer, but you can use half and half, evaporated milk, or condensed milk (just omit the sugar.)
