In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.

Boil Water

Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat. Add 4 tablespoons of Thai black tea leaves to the water. Cover the saucepan and let it steep for about 5 minutes.

Steep Tea

After steeping, strain the tea leaves from the liquid using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a heatproof container.

Strain the Tea

While the tea is still warm, stir in 4 tablespoons of sugar until fully dissolved. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

Sweeten the Tea

Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.

Prepare Glass

Pour the chilled Thai tea over the ice in the glass until it is about 3/4 full.

Add Tea

In a separate small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of condensed milk with 1 cup of evaporated milk. Slowly pour this milk mixture over the tea.

Add Milk

Stir gently to combine the layers before drinking. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of mint or a slice of lime. Serve immediately.
