Thai red tea leaves are blended with star anise, cinnamon and vanilla. The steeped tea then is flavored with sugar and, after being cooled[, is mixed with cream and often condensed milk for a refreshing creamy drink] Ingredients:
6 cups water |
1 cup thai tea |
3/4 cup sugar |
6 tablespoons cream |
6 tablespoons condensed milk |
Directions:
1. In a kettle, bring the water to a boil. Place the tea in a teapot or glass container. Pour the water over the tea and let steep until bright orange in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain into a clean container, such as a pitcher (or, if in tea bags, remove the bags). Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Fill 6 tall glasses with crushed ice and add tea to 3/4 full. Add 1 tablespoon cream and 1 tablespoon condensed milk to each glass.
3. Serve with iced-tea spoon so guests can swirl the mixture themselves.
