Print Recipe

A simple and authentic creamy Thai iced tea made with strong brewed Thai tea leaves, sweetened condensed milk, and ice, perfect for a refreshing treat on warm days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons Thai tea leaves (or Thai tea mix)
  • 2 cups (16 fl oz) filtered water
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) evaporated milk or half-and-half
  • Optional: sugar or simple syrup to taste

Instructions

  1. Measure 3 tablespoons (about 6 grams) of Thai tea leaves for every 2 cups (16 fl oz) of water.
  2. Bring 2 cups (16 fl oz) of filtered water to a rolling boil.
  3. Pour the boiling water over the tea leaves in an infuser or pot and steep for 5 to 7 minutes until the color deepens to a rich amber-orange.
  4. Strain the tea leaves out by pouring the brew through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof pitcher or bowl and stir to even out the flavor.
  5. Let the tea cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Fill a tall glass halfway with ice cubes.
  7. Pour the chilled tea over the ice, leaving room at the top.
  8. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of sweetened condensed milk over the tea and gently stir or leave layered for an ombré effect.
  9. Optionally add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of evaporated milk or half-and-half for extra creaminess.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Let the tea cool completely before adding sweetened condensed milk to avoid curdling. Use fresh Thai tea leaves for best flavor. Clear ice cubes are preferred to avoid quick dilution. Brewed tea can be stored in the fridge up to 3 days. For vegan version, substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk or coconut milk with sugar.
