Thai Tea is a popular and refreshing beverage enjoyed for its sweet, creamy, and aromatic flavors. Here’s a simple recipe to make this delightful drink at home!

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups water
  • 4 Thai tea bags (orange pekoe black tea can be used as a substitute)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup evaporated milk or half-and-half
  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Brew the tea:
    • In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
    • Remove the pan from heat and add the Thai tea bags.
    • Let the tea steep for about 5-10 minutes to achieve a strong brew. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
  2. Sweeten the tea:
    • Remove the tea bags, squeezing gently to extract flavor, and discard them.
    • Stir in the sweetened condensed milk while the tea is still hot. Adjust the amount of condensed milk to your preferred sweetness level.
  3. Chill the tea:
    • Let the tea mixture cool to room temperature.
    • Once cooled, transfer the tea to a pitcher and refrigerate until cold, about 1-2 hours.
  4. Serve Thai Tea:
    • Fill glasses with ice cubes.
    • Pour the chilled Thai tea over the ice, leaving some room at the top of each glass.
  5. Add evaporated milk:
    • Pour a generous amount of evaporated milk or half-and-half over the top of each glass of Thai tea. The milk will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful layered effect.
  6. Stir and enjoy:
    • Use a straw or a long spoon to gently stir the Thai tea and milk together before drinking.
    • Adjust sweetness or creaminess by adding more condensed milk or evaporated milk according to your taste.
  7. Serve immediately:
    • Thai Tea is best enjoyed fresh and cold. Serve immediately after stirring for the best taste and texture.

Tips:

  • Variations: You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less condensed milk. Some recipes also include vanilla extract or star anise for additional flavor.
  • Presentation: For an authentic touch, serve Thai Tea in tall glasses with a straw and a decorative spoon for stirring.
  • Accompaniments: Thai Tea pairs wonderfully with Thai snacks or desserts, such as mango sticky rice or Thai coconut pancakes.

Enjoy the refreshing and creamy flavors of homemade Thai Tea, perfect for any occasion!
