Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Thai tea mix (loose leaves or tea bags)
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Reduced-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the Thai tea mix to the boiling water and reduce heat to low. Steep the tea for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to bring out the full flavor.
Strain the tea using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the tea leaves or sediment. Pour the strained tea into a heat-safe measuring cup or teapot.
While the tea is still warm, stir in the reduced-fat sweetened condensed milk and low-fat evaporated milk. Mix well to achieve a creamy consistency. Taste and add the optional sugar if you prefer a sweeter tea.
Let the tea cool slightly, then fill two glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the tea over the ice, dividing it evenly between the glasses.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat traditional Thai tea, either on its own or paired with your favorite snack.
