Thai Sweet Iced Tea Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in tea leaves, vanilla extract, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Cover and remove from the heat. Let steep for 15 minutes.
• Pour tea through a fine mesh strainer; discard tea leaves. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Fill glasses with crushed ice. Pour tea into glasses and top with half-and-half.

Steps:

• In a large pot over high heat, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 10 minutes, remove the tea bags, and let cool. Pour into a clean container and chill.
• Fill 4 tall glasses with ice. Pour the tea three-quarters of the way up and top each with sweetened condensed milk. Serve garnished with an orange slice. For the adults, top with vodka.

Steps:

• Combine the water and cardamom pods in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags and stir gently. Steep for 10 minutes, then remove the tea bags. Add the sugar and condensed milk and stir with a wooden spoon until all of the sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool.
• Remove 1 1/2 cups of the cooled tea mixture from the saucepan and pour this into an ice cube tray. Freeze for at least 4 hours. Strain and refrigerate the remaining tea.
• When ready to serve, divide the tea ice cubes between four glasses. Fill the glasses with the chilled tea mixture, leaving a little extra space at the top. Top each glass off with 2 tablespoons of the half-and-half. Serve garnished with a slice of candied ginger, a stalk of lemon grass or a mint sprig, if desired.

Steps:

• Tools needed: glass pitcher and strainer.
• On medium heat, pour Thai tea mix into a saucepan; add 7 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.
• Turn off heat. Let tea steep until it has cooled down a bit.
• Strain over a glass pitcher.
• To make individual serving: pour 6-8 ounces into a glass. Add 1 tablespoon of Nestle creamer ( I add it while the tea is still slightly warm) and sweeten to taste. Stir to mix.
• Pour in ice cubes.
• Drink and enjoy!
