Re: Thai Ice tea

Ok I asked my sil and this is the recipe she gave me...hope it works out for u all

Bring 6 cups of water to boil.
Add 1-1/2 cups Thai tea to a large pitcher and pour over the hot water. Stir well for about half a minute until the liquid is dark brown. ( My sil said that if you dont have Thai tea you can just make regular ice tea...with tea bags..and use that... and just add a little orange coloring to get the right color)

Strain the tea if using loose tea...using a sieve. Add sweetened condensed milk to taste. Stir well. Cool to room temperature.

To serve, pour over a full glass of ice. Top evaporated milk if desired.

Good luck..

There are some recipes online as well. This one looks interesting but very complicated, I’m not even sure what star anise is.

Thai Tea Recipe From Scratch

  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.

Traditional Variation: Substitute coconut milk for half & half.
Decaffeinated Variation: Substitute decaffeinated tea leaves.
Low-fat Variation: Substitute evaporated milk or rice milk for half & half.
Natural Variation: Substitute unrefined cane sugar for refined sugar and beet powder for food coloring.

Star anise is just a chinese thing..best way i can describe it is to compare it to the dried big black things that are in gharm masala.... sorry i dont know the name..
