1
Boil the Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, add 4 tablespoons of Thai black tea leaves to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium and let it steep for about 5-7 minutes until it reaches a rich color.
3
Strain the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea through a fine mesh sieve or tea strainer into a heatproof pitcher to remove the tea leaves.

4
Combine the Ingredients
In a separate bowl or pitcher, combine 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
5
Add Evaporated Milk
Pour in 1 cup of evaporated milk to the sweetened condensed milk mixture and stir until combined.

6
Mix the Tea and Milk
Pour the brewed Thai tea into the sweetened milk mixture and stir until fully combined.
7
Serve
For serving, fill glasses with ice cubes, if desired, and pour the Thai tea mixture over the ice. Garnish with Thai basil leaves if using.
