Time 6m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon Thai black tea
1 cup of hot boiling water
2 teaspoons sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons evaporated milk (plus some more to sprinkle on top)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup of crushed ice

Steps:

  • First step is to boil water, I'm just using a pot, but you could use a water boiler or microwave
  • Take your tea sock and add about 1 tablespoon of black Thai tea. It's then easiest to put your tea sock into a bowl or big cup in order to steep the tea.
  • Pour 1 cup of boiling water into the tea sock, and push it in and out to steep the tea and extract all that flavr. Steep the tea for a few minutes until it turns nice and dark in color.
  • Taking a new cup, pour in 1 glass of hot tea
  • Add 2 teaspoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of sweetened condensed milk, and give it a nice stir
  • Then add 2 teaspoons of evaporated milk, and continue to stir the tea until everything is fully mixed in
  • Optional - A good Thai iced tea should have a little froth or some bubbles on top, so take 2 pitchers, and pour the tea from one to the other, with a bit of elevation. You could do this in a different way too, but it's pretty fun!
  • Take a cup and fill it all the way to the top with crushed ice
  • Gentry pour your hot tea mixture over the cup of ice
  • To give your Thai iced tea a final creamy touch, drizzle on some more evaporated milk onto the top of your cup
  • Add a straw, and you're ready to start slurping it down!

THAI ICED TEA (ZWT-9)



Thai Iced Tea (ZWT-9) image

There are several recipes in the data base for Thai Iced Tea, but none like this one. Nancie McDermott was credited for this recipe found at "Quick & Easy Thai: 70 Everyday Recipes". From her intro: "Sold in 1 lb cellophane-wrapped packets in Asian markets, this finely chopped black tea is spiced w/cinnamon, star anise & vanilla, & then tinged w/a bit of food coloring to create its gorgeous terra-cotta hue. Like Thai coffee, Thai tea is traditionally sweetened well w/sugar as it brews & crowned w/a generous splash of evaporated milk or half-&-half just before serving. You can brew Thai tea in a teapot, drip coffeemaker or French press (making it very strong & adding sugar while the tea is still very hot). Time has been estimated & does not include cool & chill time. Enjoy!

CHA YEN (THAI ICED TEA)



Cha Yen (Thai Iced Tea) image

This homemade Thai iced tea gets its complex flavor from black tea, rooibos tea, star anise and cloves, and its sweetness from condensed milk. Adapted from the cookbook "Bangkok" by Leela Punyaratabandhu, this version is hardly typical: Most Thai iced tea sold on the streets of Bangkok - or in Thai restaurants stateside - contains an immoderate amount of sweetened condensed milk and uses a store-bought mix, which contains food coloring. The tea blend used here is intense on its own, but mellowed by ice and milk. Chill the tea fully before pouring it over ice so its flavors don't get diluted.

Provided by Alexa Weibel

Categories     non-alcoholic drinks

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons loose red rooibos tea leaves (or the contents of 10 rooibos tea bags)
3 tablespoons loose black tea leaves (or the contents of 7 black tea bags)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
10 star anise pods, broken into pieces or roughly chopped
10 whole cloves
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Ice, for serving

Steps:

  • Add 4 cups water to a medium saucepan. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add rooibos tea, black tea, sugar, star anise and cloves; cover and let steep, 10 minutes. Strain tea, pressing on tea leaves and spices to extract as much liquid as possible, then discarding solids. Refrigerate tea until chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • In a measuring glass, stir together the half-and-half, condensed milk and vanilla extract.
  • Fill a pint glass with ice. Add 3/4 cup tea mixture and top with about 2½ tablespoons condensed milk mixture. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use strong tea leaves: Thai iced tea is traditionally made with strong black tea leaves, such as Assam or Ceylon. These teas have a bold flavor that can stand up to the sweetness of the condensed milk and sugar.
  • Brew the tea for a long time: To get the most flavor out of the tea leaves, brew them for at least 5 minutes. You can also cold brew the tea overnight for a smoother flavor.
  • Use good quality condensed milk: Condensed milk is a key ingredient in Thai iced tea, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for condensed milk that is made with real milk and sugar, and avoid brands that contain artificial ingredients.
  • Sweeten the tea to taste: Thai iced tea is traditionally served very sweet, but you can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste.
  • Serve the tea over ice: Thai iced tea is always served over ice. This helps to cool the tea down and make it refreshing.

Conclusion:

Thai iced tea is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a refreshing drink, give Thai iced tea a try!
