Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp Thai tea leaves
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Brew Tea:
    Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Add the Thai tea leaves and steep for about 5 minutes. Strain the tea into a heatproof container and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  2. Add Milks:
    Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk until fully combined. Adjust sweetness by adding more sweetened condensed milk, if desired.
  3. Serve:
    Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour the cooled tea over the ice, and stir well to mix the layers of tea and milk.
  4. Garnish and Enjoy:
    Optional: Garnish with a lime wedge or mint leaves for an extra touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, refreshing flavors of this classic Thai beverage.

Tips for Success:

  • Tea Strength: Adjust the amount of Thai tea leaves for a stronger or milder flavor.
  • Sweetness: For a less sweet version, reduce the sweetened condensed milk or replace it with sugar or honey.
  • Chill: Let the brewed tea chill in the fridge before assembling for a faster cold drink.

Wine, Cocktail, or Drink Pairing:

  • Pair this refreshing beverage with light snacks like spring rolls or fried wontons to complement the sweet, creamy flavors.
