- According to a tea website, Thai Tea is is made from strongly-brewed black tea, often spiced with ingredients such as star anise, crushed tamarind, cardamom, and occasionally others as well.
- Then we come to the really decadent good part, the brew is then sweetened with sugar and condensed milk, and served over iced.
- In Thailand it is then topped with evaporated milk.
According to Wikepedia other variations on Thai tea include:
* Dark Thai iced tea (Thai: ชาดำเย็น, cha-dam-yen): Thai tea served chilled with no milk content and sweetened with sugar only. The concept is based on traditional Indian tea, which is used as the main ingredient.
* Lime Thai tea (Thai: ชามะนาว, cha-ma-now): Similar to Dark Thai iced tea, but flavoured with lime as well as sweetened with sugar. Mint may also be added.
*A tip from the Thai Food & Travel Blog about striking the balance in the tea so that the condensed milk stays on top is to stir the tea while you pour the condensed milk in.
