Thai Iced Tea
All you need for this treat is a big cellophane sack of Thai tea
powder. Make it in a coffee maker or tea pot if you like, brewing
it nice and strong.
-
4
1/2 cups water
-
3/4
cup Thai tea powder
-
1/4
cup sugar
-
Ice,
crushed or cubes, to fill each tall glass
-
1
to 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk, or half and half
In a
medium saucepan over medium heat, bring water to a rolling boil,
stir in Thai tea powder, and remove from heat. Add sugar and stir
well. Let cool, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar
When
the tea has cooled to room temperature, strain it through a
fine-mesh strainer, or a coffee filter, into a pitcher and chill
until serving time. To serve, fill 4 to 6 tall glasses with ice,
and then add about 3/4 cup Thai tea to each glass. Top off each
glass with 3 to 4 tablespoons evaporated milk or half and half..
Serve at once, as the milk cascades over the ice and swirls
languidly into the tea…
Serves
4 to 6
