Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Thai tea mix
- 2 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Sugar
- 4 tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Evaporated milk
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add 4 tablespoons of Thai tea mix to the saucepan.
Let the tea simmer for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the leaves are fully submerged.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the tea to steep for an additional 5 minutes to enhance flavor.
Strain the tea into a heatproof pitcher or container using a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth to remove the tea leaves.
Add 4 tablespoons of sugar to the hot tea and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Taste to adjust sweetness as desired.
Allow the sweetened tea to cool at room temperature or refrigerate until cold.
Fill two glass tumblers with ice cubes, leaving enough space at the top for milk.
Pour the cooled tea over the ice, filling each glass about 3/4 full.
Top each glass with 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk followed by 1 tablespoon of evaporated milk for a rich and creamy texture.
Stir the milk gently into the tea with a long spoon or straw.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing glass of traditional Thai tea.
