Thai Iced Milk Tea Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup Thai tea mix
- ¼ cup sugar
- pinch salt
- 1-3 tablespoons condensed milk
- ¼ cup evaporated milk
- ice cubes
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, add the water, cover with a lid, & heat on medium-high. As soon as it comes to a rolling boil, turn off the heat, add Thai tea mix and sugar. Stir so leaves are fully submerged and sugar is dissolved. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes.
- Strain the tea leaves using a sieve and/or cheese cloth, then stir in the sugar & salt until it’s dissolved. Allow the tea to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- To serve, stir together condensed milk and Thai tea. It’s easiest to use a spouted measuring cup if you want to make an iced tea version. Make it a little sweeter than you’d like because the ice will dilute the Thai tea as it melts.
- In a tall cup, add boba (if using), then ice, & the Thai tea. Leave enough room at the top of the cup for the milk.
- Pour in evaporated milk, then stir before enjoying immediately!
Notes
- Condensed Milk: I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but sweetener is needed in the recipe to be flavorful. I tend to add just enough condensed milk to be lightly sweet, however, if you enjoy an extra sweet version, add more!
Key Tips:
Flavorful Tea Without Becoming Bitter: Steep the tea leaves as recommended and no longer, otherwise, you may end up with a bitter drink. Then, allow the tea to cool. Dairy-Free: Authentic Thai tea recipes call for evaporated milk or condensed milk, however, you can swap it out for coconut condensed milk & coconut milk for a creamy dairy-free version.
