Thai Iced Tea

Our Thai iced tea blend is a mix of ground up black tea, star anise, vanilla, cinnamon and other spices. Brewing takes about 5 mins.

  1. You can buy the Thai tea mix from some local asian markets. Or you can make your own Thai tea mix. Ingredients are: 1-2 parts Ceylon/Assam black tea, 1 part star anise, 1 part vanilla, and also cinnamon according to taste. (these spices should be ground up)

  2. I am making a 16oz. cup this time. Use 3-6 tea spoons of Thai tea mix. Use 6oz. freshly boiled water and steep the tea for 5-7 mins.

  3. When the tea is brewed, strain the leaves or take the filter out(I use unbleached paper tea sacks). Put condensed milk, coconut milk, and sugar according to taste(you can also put heavy cream, half&half, non-dairy creamer, soy milk instead). Stir the tea.

  4. Add Ice and you now have a cup of Thai iced tea in 5 mins.
