There are almost as many ways of making Thai tea as there are Thai restaurants. I love the richness the cardomom, cloves and cinnamon add. You can also skip the sugar and use sweetened condensed milk in place of the half-and-half. No other tea will substitute for Thai tea--you can find Thai tea in Asian markets, or if you are really lucky, in the Asian section of your grocery store. Prep time does not include chill time.

Wow, thanks for this exotic and refreshing recipe. The Thai tea leaves were so hard to find. Our Chinatown in Montreal only had one shop that carried them (to my surprise and delight it was the green tea variety) and they told me to put it through a coffee maker to filter it. Well, I did and it worked out great as soon as I got my measurements correct. So I made basic Thai Tea without the cinnamon, cardamom and clove- two rounded teaspoons of tea for every cup of water in the coffee maker. Then I added two teaspoons of sugar for every cup of tea, sweet enough for my taste,and chilled it. When it was time to serve-poured it over some ice and half 'n half to top it off. Next time though I'm going to try to top it off with the sweet condensed milk as "shimmerchk" suggested.

Just a little note, intead of adding sugar and half and half, a lot of Thai cooks (including my mom) just top this with sweetened condensed milk. I don't add cinnamon to my recipe, but otherwise it is the same as this one and is really DELICIOUS!

Wonderful! This exactly the same tea I have been served in Thai recipes and have tried to duplicate for some time. Really delicious and unique. The color is gorgeous - the orangey color of the tea topped with the creamy half n half makes a striking presentation in a clear glass. Note: Only Thai tea leaves will produce the unique color and taste. I found mine in an Asian market in a giant bag, but have also seen them for sale in online asian markets.

1 1/2 c water
2 tbsp Thai tea
1/4 c sweetened condensed milk

Place 2 tablespoons of tea powder in a muslin bag, and arrange over the neck of a jug. Pour in 12 ounces of boiling water, and allow to steep. Transfer the bag to a second jug and pour the water into the bag again. Repeat this process several times then vigorously squeeze the bag to remove as much liquor as possible. Add a quarter of a cup of sweetened condensed milk, stir to incorporate, and allow to cool. Serve over shaved ice. Makes 2 cups.

Search online for recipes theres tons of different ways to make it. I searched months ago and found they were all basicly the same but some added honey, some sugar, etc.
