Anybody know how to make Thai tea at home?
The sweet, creamy, paprika-colored, milky, radioactive dishwater looking kind. I love it!

Thai Tea is a real favorite in Thailand. When you buy Thai Tea on the street, you normally get it in a small plastic bag with a straw. Since it's very easy to make it just like you find in Thailand, you can avoid paying $3.50 to Starbucks.
1 gallon water
8 Chinese star anise, ground
1 tablespoon orange flowers
1 tablespoon powdered vanilla
1 pinch of clove powder
1 pinch chopped cinnamon
3/4 quart long cut China black tea leaves
1 to 2 cups sugar
1 quart half & half
red food coloring
crushed ice
Boil water. Add star anise, orange flowers, vanilla, clove, cinnamon, and tea leaves to boiling water. Continue boiling for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Cover and allow to steep until luke warm. Strain, and add sugar to taste. Serve in a clear glass over plenty of crushed ice. Top with half & half.
Ah, you mean Thai Ice Tea. There are lots of recipes, I can't quote them here, but what you want to look for is "Thai ice tea" or "Thai iced tea" (with the 'd').
Yummy stuff. Basically tea with sugar, condensed/evaporated milk,
