1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Brew Tea
Once boiling, add 4 cups of Thai black tea leaves to the pot. Stir briefly, then cover and let steep for about 5-10 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, remove the pot from heat. Strain the tea into a large pitcher, discarding the leaves. Stir in 1 cup of sugar until fully dissolved.

4
Combine Milks
In a separate bowl or pitcher, combine 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of evaporated milk. Stir well to mix.

5
Prepare Glasses
Fill each glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.
6
Pour Tea
Pour the sweetened Thai tea over the ice until the glass is about 3/4 full.
7
Add Milk
Top off each glass with the milk mixture, gently stirring to combine for a marbled effect.
8
Garnish (Optional)
If desired, add a piece of star anise and a few mint leaves for garnish.
