Thai Iced Tea

Asia knows how to cool down without any air con and Thai Iced Tea is a great way to start because you likely already have everything in your pantry or you can easily source it.

Ingredients and substitutions for Thai Ice Tea

• Tea: Plain black tea is traditionally used here, though you could use a less traditional breakfast or earl gray tea for a twist, if you prefer.
• Sweetened condensed milk: Full fat condensed milk doesn’t just add sweetness but also helps balance out the flavors in the tea.

See recipe card for quantities.
