THAI ICED TEA RECIPE



THAI ICED TEA RECIPE image

Our Thai Tea mix is from the Pantai Thai Tea Mix bag. We reduced the amount of sugar that they suggested, but you can definitely add more if you like your Thai Iced Tea to be sweeter. The finished and brewed Thai tea mix keeps well in the fridge. Brew the tea, strain, and then chill, storing in the fridge until you are ready to serve. This can be done several days ahead of time. The brewed thai tea lasts about 10 days in the fridge (without the half and half)

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup Thai Tea Mix
4 cups water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup half and half or other creamer ((some folks also use coconut milk, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk) *approximately)
ice cubes

Steps:

  • Bring water to boil and add the thai tea mix. Add sugar and gently stir to completely dissolve sugar. Gently boil tea for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Allow tea to steep for at least 30 minutes and allow it to cool. The more concentrated the tea flavor, the better the Thai tea tastes.
  • Strain the Thai tea and aside to cool (we prefer to strain through a traditional re-useable cloth filter to remove any sediment). You can make this ahead of time and have the Thai tea chilling in the fridge. Completely chill before serving.
  • Fill glasses with ice and pour in Thai tea leaving enough room to fill in your half and half (or other creamer). For an 8 oz. glass we like to add about 2-3 tablespoons of half and half for a creamier flavor.

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!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tea leaves for the best flavor. Look for loose-leaf tea or tea bags made with whole leaves. Avoid tea dust, as it will make a weaker and less flavorful tea.
  • Brew your tea strong. You want the tea to be flavorful enough to stand up to the other ingredients in the iced tea.
  • Use filtered or spring water to brew your tea. Tap water can contain minerals that can affect the taste of the tea.
  • Sweeten your tea to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or your favorite sweetener. If you are using sugar, be sure to dissolve it completely in the hot tea before adding the ice.
  • Add milk or cream to your iced tea for a richer flavor. You can also add flavored syrups or extracts to create different variations of iced tea.
  • Serve your iced tea immediately over ice. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Thai iced tea is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a refreshing drink, give Thai iced tea a try!
