THAI ICED TEA RECIPE

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.

• 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
