Ingredients

6 cups water

1 cup Thai tea

3/4 cup sugar

6 tablespoons cream

6 tablespoons condensed milk

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Serve with iced-tea spoon so guests can swirl the mixture themselves.
