How to Make Restaurant Quality Thai Tea At Home

Thai tea is an extremely popular beverage that is mildly sweet, slightly spiced, and has hints of vanilla like floral flavor. I personally love getting this drink at Thai restaurants, but I also have a hard time coughing up the $7. In this video, I'm going to share with you my favorite simple Thai tea recipe. It consists of only 6 ingredients and can be easily made in a large batch for multiple servings.
Ingredients for Thai tea concentrate (8 servings):
- 110g (1 cup) Thai tea leaves (amzn.to/4dS2dYt)
- 140g (2/3 cup) sugar (amzn.to/3UYanpu)
- 1420 ml (6 cups) hot water
- 500g (2 cups) ice
Directions:
1. Combine Thai tea, sugar, and hot water in a mixing bowl and steep for 20 minutes.
2. Add ice into a pitcher (where you will store the concentrate).
3. Strain tea over ice and store in fridge until ready to consume.
Ingredients for Thai tea:

Directions:
1. Add condensed milk into a cup (or shaker).
2. Add ice.
3. Add Thai tea concentrate.
4. Add milk.
5. Stir and enjoy (or shake if using a shaker).

good i will try to make the tea recipe

[@leungjeffrey94]

Reminds me of how to basic

[@jennglow4647]

😋

[@PelleGIT]

Wouldnt you want to add the condensed milk while the tea is still hot?

[@bobaventures]

You could! I like to add it later since I typically brew the Thai tea as a concentrate that can be stored in the fridge until ready to use. Adding the condensed milk would shorten the shelf life of the concentrate.

[@albertuy4551]

okay but why would you add the sugar to the tea leaves before straining it when you can just add the sugar after straining?

[@bobaventures]

It's just preference. The water is most hot at the beginning of steeping, so I find that the sugar dissolves better.

[@Turnpost2552]

Explain how it tastes like

[@classifiesconfidential4330]

Vanilla, black tea, complex, childhood, home ❤

[@7saolao]

Can I add half and half instead of milk

[@bobaventures]

@@7saolao yes, you can use most milks, just make sure that it's creamy!

[@Joe-xl4ub]

Do you think it really needs to steep for 20 minutes?

[@bobaventures]

You can definitely get away with less time, but I tend to like the tea flavor being stronger with a longer steep time. You could potentially add a bit more tea leaves with a shorter steep time to achieve a similar result. Experiment and see what works for you 👍

[@Joe-xl4ub]

I ask because I have seen the locals just pass it through the sock 5 times and that is indeed a shorter steeping time. I wondered if it could become too strong--or maybe there's no such thing. I will try your way next time and see what I think! Thanks! @@bobaventures

[@yabs9642]

ive been steeping for 30 minutes after boiling with the OG thai tea mix but its incredibly weak flavored, so honestly steeping for long period of time is da way

[@bobaventures]

@@yabs9642 you also don't have to use as much tea leaves which makes the wallet happy ;)

[@yabs9642]

@@bobaventures is pantai stronger flavored than chatramue? might grab it to test the difference
