1 1/2 c water

2 tbsp Thai tea

1/4 c sweetened condensed milk



Place 2 tablespoons of tea powder in a muslin bag, and arrange over the neck of a jug. Pour in 12 ounces of boiling water, and allow to steep. Transfer the bag to a second jug and pour the water into the bag again. Repeat this process several times then vigorously squeeze the bag to remove as much liquor as possible. Add a quarter of a cup of sweetened condensed milk, stir to incorporate, and allow to cool. Serve over shaved ice. Makes 2 cups.



Pre-mixed Preparation 3



This process gives me Thai Tea that tastes exactly like it does in my favorite Thai restaurant. I put a cup of the loose tea leaves into a big pot of water (the kind of pot one boils pasta in... a big stove pot). I bring the tea and water to a rolling boil, stirring constantly and monitoring the heat so that it doesn鈥檛 overflow. After it has boiled for a minute or two, I reduce the heat and allow the tea to simmer for 15 or 20 minutes. Then I cover the pot and allow the tea to cool on the stove top. At first the tea leaves all stay at the top of the water, but as the water cools they all drop to the bottom of the pot. I then carefully pour the tea into a pitcher, using a metal strainer to catch any leaves that happen to get stirred up during the process. (However, virtually all of the leaves stay settled.) I add sugar until the bitterness of the tea goes away, usually between one and two cups. If the tea seems too strong, I also add water to dilute it a bit. I pour the tea over ice, filling the glass 2/3 full, then top it off with half-and-half.I'm look for thai ice tea recipes?
Thai Iced Tea



Thai iced tea is one of the first things people fall in love with when

dining at a typical Thai restaurant. It is a native-grown red-leafed tea which is spiced with star anise seed. It is usually brewed strong and then blended with a rich swirl of evaporated milk. Delicious!



Ingredients:-



-6 cups water

-1 cup Thai tea (cha Thai)

-1 cup sugar

-1 can evaporated milk



Method:-



Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the tea and remove the pan from heat. Stir to submerge all the tea leaves in the water. Steep for about 5 minutes. Pour the brew through a coffee filter or a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Add the sugar to the hot tea and stir to dissolve. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until ready to

serve.



To serve:-



Fill tall glasses with crushed ice. Add enough of the tea to fill the glasses to within 1 inch from the top. Then float 3 to 4 tablespoons of evaporated milk over the ice in each glass.I'm look for thai ice tea recipes?
