Beverages

  1. 1

    Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add Thai tea leaves; allow to steep for 5–7 minutes to extract a deep color and flavor.

  2. 2

    Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof container, discarding the leaves.

  3. 3

    While the tea is hot, stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is evenly colored and smooth.

  5. 5

    Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to chill.

  6. 6

    Fill two tall glasses about halfway with ice cubes.

  7. 7

    Divide the cooled Thai tea between the two glasses, pouring over the ice.

  8. 8

    Top each glass with evaporated milk (about 1/4 cup per serving, or to taste) to create creamy swirls on top.

  9. 9

    Stir gently to combine and serve with a straw.
