- Here is the recipe for Thai Iced Tea. It comes from "Thai Home
- Cooking From Kamolmal's Kitchen" by Wm. Crawford and Kamolmal
- Pootaraksa.
-
- 0.5 c Thai tea
- 3 c Water
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 c Evaporated milk or Half-and-half
-
- 1. Put the tea in a bag made of fine cloth. Bring the water to a
- rapid boil, pour it over the tea, and let it steep for 3 min. Pour
- the liquid back through the tea 5 or 6 times until it is a deep orange
- color and is flavored strongly.
-
- 2. Strain the tea well, pressing out all the liquid that you
- can. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the warm liquid and mix it
- well. Allow the mixture to cool to room temp.
-
- 3. Just before serving, fill each glass with ice and fill it
- half to three quarters full of tea. Add evaporated milk or
- half-and-half to fill the glass, and stir well.
-
- VARIATION: If you prefer a darker colored and stronger flavored tea,
- substitute 3/4 cup granulated sugar for the sweetened condensed milk.
-
- (Thai Coffee is prepared the same way substituting coffee for the
- tea.)
-
- Thai tea can be purchased in oriental food markets. It comes in one
- pound cellophane packets.
