Equipment

  • Reusable Cloth Filter

Ingredients
  

Thai Tea Mix Ingredients

  • 1 cup Thai Tea Mix (80 g)
  • 4 cups water (for steeping)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (to taste)
  • ¾ cup half and half (or other creamer)
  • ice

Organic Tea Bag Ingredients

  • 4 cups water (for steeping)
  • 4 bags organic black tea
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (to taste)
  • 2 anise stars
  • 1 green cardamom pod smashed
  • 2 whole cloves
  • ¾ cup half and half (or other creamer)
  • ice

Instructions
 

Thai Tea Mix Directions

  • Bring water to boil and add the Thai tea mix. Add sugar and gently stir to completely dissolve sugar. Gently boil tea for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Allow tea to steep for at least 30 minutes and allow it to cool. The more concentrated the tea flavor, the better the Thai tea tastes.
  • If you are using the Thai tea mix, strain the tea leaves. Set finished Thai tea aside to cool.
  • Fill glasses with ice and pour in Thai tea leaving enough room to fill in your half and half (or other creamer).

Using Organic Tea Bags Directions

  • Bring water to boil and add the tea bags, sugar, star anise, cardamom pod and cloves. Stir until all the sugar dissolves. Gently boil tea for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Allow tea to steep for at least 30 minutes and allow it to cool. We prefer to allow the tea bags to seep for about 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  • Remove the tea bags and spoon out the star anise, cardamom pod and cloves. If tea is still warm, refrigerate it so it can be chilled.
  • Fill glasses with ice and pour in organic Thai tea leaving enough room to fill in your half and half (or other creamer).

Notes

You can make this ahead of time and have the Thai tea chilling in the fridge. We usually like to make this tea mix one day ahead.
