Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Add 4 tablespoons of Thai tea leaves to the boiling water and stir. Reduce the heat to low and let the tea steep for 5 minutes.
Once steeped, remove the saucepan from heat and strain the tea using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the tea leaves. Let the tea cool slightly.
Stir 2 tablespoons of sugar into the warm tea until dissolved. Allow the tea to come to room temperature or chill in the refrigerator if desired.
In a serving glass, fill it halfway with ice cubes.
Pour the cooled tea over the ice, leaving some room at the top for the milk layer.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk. Gently pour the milk mixture over the tea to create a creamy layer.
Stir before serving and enjoy your homemade Thai Iced Tea!
