Thai Iced Tea
 
Cook time
Total time
 
Serves: 4-6 cups
Ingredients
  • 5 cups water
  • ⅔ - 1 cup Thai Iced Tea Mix (use more or less depending on strength preference)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ice
  • coconut milk (or half and half or sweetened condensed milk)
Instructions
  1. In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil.
  2. Once the water is boiling add the tea and sugar to the pot. Stir a bit to help encourage the sugar to dissolve. Lower the heat so everything is still bubbling, but the bubbles are gentle not vigorous.
  3. Let the tea steep in the boiling water for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove pot from the heat and let steep for 30 minutes.
  5. Put a fine mesh sieve over a bowl or pitcher. Pour the tea through the strainer to strain the tea from the tea leaves. Discard the tea leaves. [Note: If you don't have a fine strainer, you can line your regular colander with cheese cloth. I think a couple layers of paper towels might also work]
  6. Let the tea cool in the refrigerator. Alternatively you can serve it immediately over a lot of ice.
  7. To serve, fill a glass with ice. Fill the glass ¾ of the way full with tea.
  8. Top the tea with the coconut milk. Enjoy the beautiful look.
  9. Stir and enjoy!
