A quick and easy homemade iced Thai tea with a strong, spiced black tea base blended with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk for a creamy, nostalgic refreshment perfect for hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons Thai tea mix (brands like Pantai or Number One recommended)
  • 2 ½ cups (600 ml) water
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) evaporated milk
  • Ice cubes (plenty)
  • 1–2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • 1 whole star anise (optional)
  • 2–3 cardamom pods (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 ½ cups (600 ml) of water into a medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over high heat (about 5 minutes).
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 3 tablespoons of Thai tea mix, star anise, and cardamom pods if using. Let steep for 5 minutes.
  3. Strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a heatproof bowl or pitcher, pressing gently on the tea leaves to extract flavor without bitterness.
  4. While the tea is still hot, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of sugar (if desired) until dissolved. Add ⅓ cup (80 ml) sweetened condensed milk and ⅓ cup (80 ml) evaporated milk. Mix well to combine.
  5. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  6. Pour over a tall glass filled with plenty of ice cubes and stir gently.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw or long spoon.

Notes

Adjust sweetness by varying sugar and condensed milk amounts. For dairy-free, substitute coconut milk and coconut condensed milk. Pre-chill glasses for colder drinks. Use fresh ice cubes to avoid watering down the tea. Avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.
