Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Thai tea mix
  • 2 cups filtered water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 cups crushed ice

Instructions:

  1. Bring 2 cups of filtered water to a rolling boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in the Thai tea mix. Let the mixture steep for exactly 5 minutes.
  2. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh strainer or cloth filter into a heat-proof pitcher. While the liquid is still hot, stir in the granulated sugar and the sweetened condensed milk until uniform.
  3. Allow the tea concentrate to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to prevent ice dilution.
  4. Fill two tall glasses to the brim with crushed ice. Pour the chilled tea mixture over the ice until 3/4 full.
  5. Slowly pour the evaporated milk over the back of a spoon onto the surface of the tea to create the signature layered effect.
