Thai red tea leaves are blended with star anise, cinnamon and vanilla. The steeped tea then is flavored with sugar and, after being cooled, is mixed with cream and often condensed milk for a refreshing creamy drink
Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 1 cup Thai tea
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons cream
- 6 tablespoons condensed milk
Directions
In a kettle, bring the water to a boil. Place the tea in a teapot or glass container. Pour the water over the tea and let steep until bright orange in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain into a clean container, such as a pitcher (or, if in tea bags, remove the bags). Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Fill 6 tall glasses with crushed ice and add tea to 3/4 full. Add 1 tablespoon cream and 1 tablespoon condensed milk to each glass.
Serve with iced-tea spoon so guests can swirl the mixture themselves.

First of all, Thai tea IS Thai iced tea. "1 cup of Thai tea" is not an ingredient, and presumably you don't already have the finished product on hand. Luckily due to its increasing popularity in the US, you can buy Thai tea powder mix from ethnic stores and online. Thai (iced tea is actually made from BLACK TEA. Refer to Giada's Thai Iced Tea Recipe if you do not have or do not plan on buying the powder mix.

I was recently introduced to Thai Iced Tea at a nice Thai restaurant in NYC and then once again at a Thai fast food joint. Both were equally tasty.
So I figured it was fairly simple to make at home and I followed the recipe here EXACTLY!! (duh, its not hard to follow. I used Thai Tea Blend that I bought at the Teavana store in the mall - which was quite expensive, by the way.
This was NOT the uniquely flavored, orangey concoction I was served in the restaurant. Maybe I used the wrong tea, but I was quite disappointed.
Anyways, specifically concerning my low rating for THIS recipe.....the tablespoon of sweetened, condensed milk fell to the bottom of the glass in a blob nor did the cream, poured slowly, exactly float on the top. The final result was almost TOO sweet for my taste.
