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:
- 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. - Add Milks:
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk until fully combined. Adjust sweetness by adding more sweetened condensed milk, if desired. - 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. - 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.
