Thai Iced Tea
This orange Thai iced tea looks pretty and tastes amazing! The sweet creamy milk floats on top of strong tea. Perfect for hot days and special treats. Kids love the fun colors while adults enjoy the unique flavors.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Thai tea mix
- 4 cups water
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons evaporated milk
- 3 cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Boil water in a pot until bubbles pop up all over. Turn off the heat fast.
- Drop Thai tea mix into hot water. The water turns orange right away! Let it sit for 5 whole minutes.
- Put sugar into the hot tea. Stir lots and lots so all sugar melts away.
- Pour tea through a strainer to catch all the leafy bits. The tea should look clear and bright orange now.
- Cool tea down for 30 min. Putting it in the fridge makes cooling happen quicker.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes until they're almost full. More ice makes the drink extra cold!
- Pour orange tea over ice until the glass gets almost full. Keep some room at the top!
- Drizzle condensed milk and evaporated milk slowly on top. They make pretty white clouds in the orange tea.
- Then stir everything together and enjoy the yummy drink.
Notes
- Best served very cold with lots of ice for the most refreshing taste.
- Tea can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Add more or less sugar based on how sweet people like their drinks.
- The condensed milk makes this very rich - use less for a lighter version.
- Pour milk slowly over the back of a spoon to create better layering effect.
