Easy Thai Iced Tea Recipe

Thai Iced Tea Recipe. Easy, Homemade, Refreshing

Thai Iced Tea Recipe Ingredients

6 Cups Water
8 Black Tea Bags
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Star Anise
1 Vanilla Bean
2 Cinnamon Sticks
1 Teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 Teaspoon Cardamom (optional)
Sweetened Condensed Milk (Or dairy or dairy alternative of your choosing)

Procedure

Bring the water to a rolling boil.

Turn off the heat.

Steep the teabags and spices in the boiled water for 15 minutes.

You are making a tea concentrate so the it will be a strong tea. The spices need time to open up and fully infuse the tea.

Strain

Strain the spices out of the tea.

I use a mesh strainer lined with a coffee filter to separate out the spices.

Cool the tea completely.

Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

This is your Thai Iced Tea Base

Make the tea

It is best to let the tea cool completely before mixing the tea with the sweetened condensed milk. But if you are like me, and want your delicious drink NOW fill a glass half full with crushed ice.

Pour your Thai Ice Tea base to fill the glass until it is 3/4 full. (or is it 1/4 empty? )

Top the tea with 2 large tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk.

I like to watch it sink to the bottom of the glass and see the lovely trails of milky deliciousness as it falls.

Stir to combine and enjoy!

If you would like the have your tea sweeter, add another spoonful of sweetened condensed milk.

Other options for adding milk to your tea would be heavy cream, whole milk, coconut milk or almond milk. You may have to adjust your sweetness if you opt for one of these ingredients.
