Instructions

  1. Place your Thai tea mix into a cloth strainer. Hold the strainer over a glass for brewing.
  2. Pour your hot water over the Thai tea leaves in the strainer, allowing the tea to steep directly into the glass. Allow the tea to steep for about 2–3 minutes. Avoid steeping for too long, as this can make your tea bitter.
  3. Once the tea has steeped, remove the strainer with the leaves. While the tea is still hot, add sugar, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk, stirring until fully dissolved.
  4. To serve, fill glasses with ice to the brim. Pour the brewed tea over the ice, leaving some room at the top for additional milk if desired. Top off with evaporated milk and stir.
