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!



6 cups water

1 cup Thai tea (cha Thai)

1 cup sugar

1 can evaporated milk



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.What is the recipe and method in making "Thai Ice Tea" as served inThai restaurants?

Thai Iced Tea

Thailand Asian Oriental

Ingredients :



3 tbl Thai tea (cha Thai)

6 oz Boiling water

Sugar or sweetened condensed milk to taste

Milk or half-and-half



Method :

1. Place tea in a coffee filter in a drip cone. Preheat carafe with boiling water; discard water. Pour 6 ounces boiling water per serving into cone and let it drip through. Transfer brew to another container, then pour back through filter. Repeat until tea is deep red in color, a total of 4 to 6 times.

2. Sweeten tea to taste with sugar or condensed milk. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and add tea to fill glasses halfway. Add milk or half-and-half and stir.

Variation: The tea may be brewed in a teapot, but it will still need to be filtered through a paper filter or a very fine nylon strainer. Preheat pot with boiling water and allow to steep 6 to 8 minutes before straining.
