Thai Iced Tea

Western iced tea is usually only served with sugar and a lemon slice, whereas Thai iced tea is steeped with warming spices and mixed with sweetened condensed milk.

Ingredients :
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 black tea bags
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 whole star anise
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1 green cardamom pod, smashed
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, half-and-half cream or coconut milk
Directions :
  1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium; add tea bags, sugar, star anise, cloves and cardamom pods. Simmer until sugar is dissolved, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. Allow tea to steep 1-2 hours. Strain tea into a pitcher; discard tea bags, star anise, cloves and cardamom pods.
  3. To serve, fill glasses with ice; pour 1 cup of tea in each glass. Top each with 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, cream, or coconut milk.
