Thai Iced Tea

Sharing is caring!

After a long time I am posting a Thai recipe. Here is the summer special cool Thai Iced Tea recipe. I prepared this Thai Tea with store bought Thai Tea mix, which I sweetened with condensed milk and sugar and topped it up with evaporated milk and with a dash of coconut milk, Usually the Thai tea is brewed first and then sweetened and just before serving the sweetened tea is added to the crushed ice and the milks are added after. I have included the video also.

I tried to prepare Thai tea mix from scratch but couldn’t replicate it 100% and then went with store bought Thai Tea mix. So what makes Thai tea unique? It is a strongly brewed black tea but spiced up with star anise, orange blossom and the key ingredient Tamarind Seed powder or crushed tamarind seed. (That’s what I was missing.) This tea can be brewed well ahead and can be quickly assembled before serving. The fact that it is served chill makes it party friendly and also a summer special drink.

Hosting July 4^th party and looking for some tea mock tails? Here are my other two tea mock tail recipes.

1. Non-Alcoholic Green Tea Spritzer with Fruits
2. Iced Fusion Tea | A Mix of Passion Fruit Tea and Tender Coconut Water

Ingredients:

• Water – 2 cups
• Condensed Milk – 2 tbsps
• Sugar – 2 tsps
• Coconut Milk – 2 tbsps
• Evaporated Milk – 1/2 cup
• Crushed Ice – as required

Steps:

• In a pot or pan, heat 2 cups of water but adding 2 tbsps of thai tea.
• Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer in low flame for 5 minutes and then turn of the heat. By now the entire kitchen will be filled with the aroma of Thai tea.

• Filter the tea and to this add the condensed milk and sugar and make sure the sugar dissolves and the condensed milk is incorporated well.

• Now fill the cups with crushed ice. (Atleast 3/4 of the cup)
• First add the filtered and cooled tea-condensed milk mix in equally into the glasses.
• Then add the evaporated milk equally into the glasses.
• Finally top it up with a 1 tbsp of coconut milk in each glass.

That’s it. Thai iced tea is ready. Slurp and enjoy.

Notes:

• If you can’t find evaporated milk, use regular 2% milk (boiled and cooled)
• You can skip sugar and add more condensed milk.
• Also if required add more coconut milk or you can skip it also.
• Adjust the sugar and tea quantity according to your preference.
