Ingredients
- 4-5 Thai tea bags (or 1/2 cup loose Thai tea leaves)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk (or whole milk)
- Ice cubes
Direction
1. Brew the Tea:
-
Steep Tea:
- Place the Thai tea bags or loose tea leaves in a heatproof pitcher. Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the tea. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
-
Sweeten:
- Remove the tea bags or strain out the tea leaves. While the tea is still warm, stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.
-
Cool:
- Let the tea cool to room temperature. For quicker cooling, you can refrigerate it.
2. Prepare the Beverage:
-
Serve with Ice:
- Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the cooled tea over the ice, filling the glasses about three-quarters full.
-
Add Milk:
- Gently pour the sweetened condensed milk over the tea. You can adjust the amount of condensed milk based on your sweetness preference. Stir to mix, or leave it layered for a visually appealing presentation.
-
Top with Evaporated Milk:
- Float the evaporated milk (or whole milk) on top by pouring it over the back of a spoon. This creates a layered effect.
3. Garnish and Serve:
-
Garnish (Optional):
- You can garnish with a slice of lime or a sprig of mint for extra freshness.
-
Serve:
- Serve the Thai iced tea immediately, with a straw or stirring stick to mix the milk if desired.
Tips:
- Adjust Sweetness: Modify the amount of sugar and condensed milk to suit your taste preferences.
- Tea Strength: Adjust the steeping time to make the tea stronger or weaker, based on your preference.
- Chilling: Ensure the tea is well chilled before serving for the best refreshing taste.
