This Thai tea recipe offers a rich and flavorful iced beverage made by steeping strong Thai tea leaves, then blending them with creamy condensed and evaporated milks. Perfectly sweetened and chilled, it delivers the authentic taste of classic Thai street tea that is refreshing and indulgent, served over ice for a delightful treat any time.

Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 90g Thai tea leaves (ChaTraMue recommended)
  • 1.5 litres boiling water

Dairy & Alternatives

  • 397g can condensed milk (or condensed coconut milk for a vegan option)
  • 410g can evaporated milk (or oat milk for a vegan alternative)

Serving

  • Ice, to serve
  • Reusable straws, optional

Instructions

  1. Steep the Tea: Carefully whisk the loose Thai tea leaves with 1.5 litres of boiling water in a large heatproof bowl. Allow the tea to steep for 8 minutes to extract a strong, flavorful brew.
  2. Strain the Tea: Set a fine sieve lined with muslin cloth over a large jug. After steeping, pour the tea mixture slowly through the lined sieve, pressing the leaves gently to extract all the flavor. Take care as the liquid will be hot.
  3. Mix in Milks: Whisk the strained tea with the condensed milk and evaporated milk (or their vegan alternatives) until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Chill the Tea: Refrigerate the combined mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and to chill it thoroughly.
  5. Serve Over Ice: Fill tall glasses or a serving jug with ice, then pour the chilled Thai tea over the ice. Serve immediately with reusable straws for a refreshing beverage experience.

Notes

  • Use condensed coconut milk and oat milk to make a vegan-friendly version of this Thai tea.
  • Steeping time is crucial for a strong tea base; do not shorten the 8-minute steep.
  • Muslin or a fine cloth-lined sieve ensures a smooth, sediment-free drink.
  • Adjust the amount of condensed milk to taste if you prefer a sweeter or lighter tea.
  • Reusable straws enhance the sustainability of enjoying this icy drink.
