@billyher1984 Good eye! Yes, we got that at the famous Wing Wa Asian grocery store in Sacramento, California. Wing Wa has got to be the largest Asian grocery this side of the Pacific!
@xclusiveplayer We use evaporated milk that is not sweetened. The sugar mixed in the boiling water with the tea leaves in this recipe provides enough sweetness, so condensed milk which is usually sweetened, would not be good. Sweetened condensed milk is used in another type of sweet milkyThai tea (Cha Chak) where sugar is not used. Half & half should work well, but we haven't tried it yet. We will soon.
@Coolycoolycosmo Thanks for subscribing! No, green tea bags wouldn't turn out like this. In fact, we've tried many, many different tea mixes that said "Thai Tea" both in America and Thailand but none has ended up as this good "restaurant style" Thai iced tea, except for the specific brand, "Pantainorasingh" seen in the video. You have to search the Asian markets because not everyone will stock this brand. Good Luck!
Thank you for your response! You're right, it has to be very cold. The first time I made it, I wasn't patient and I just wanted to try it already..so my tea was still warm and the ice kinda just diluted everything! Thank you again for this video!
@electricmoo88 Right! If we didn't mention that in the video, the brewed tea should be cooled and kept in the refrigerator separately from the evaporated milk(or cream) before combining to make the final drink. Everyone wants to make it just like that $4 glass at their favorite Thai restaurant - I think we are getting closer to that magical combination! Thanks for your input.
A couple more thoughts on it: The evaporated milk should also be cold, kept in the refrigerator, before mixing. And I think the ice cubes we used in the video are not ideal. Either a smaller cube or crushed ice should be better. The cream seems to stick to these large cubes instead of mixing well. We will try it with other ice to see what's best soon.
So I bought this brand of Thai tea and I tried making it..it turned out good but I think I did it wrong. When I added the evaporated milk, it didn't stay on the top and it went straight down...and you know when you order Thai tea at the restaurants, the thai tea is very thick and creamy? Mine wasn't :( how do I get it thick and creamy? Thank you.
@electricmoo88 Try to pour the evaporated milk very slowly and from just above the top of the glass. More milk makes it more creamy. Sometimes the milk does seem to go straight down for us also. I think it may be because of the temperature difference or the type of ice cubes. Be sure to use LOTS of ice. Really, the glass should be full of ice before the tea is poured. The tea will melt some of the ice which is normal and desired for the right dilution and to make it very cold like it should be!
Wow! Is this the way the restaurants make it?! I watched so many videos on how to make Thai ice tea and this one is the best! Its bright orange and it looks like the ones you get at the restaurants. Now I just have to find this brand of Thai tea. Thank you, please continue making more videos :)
@Hurrygettothevan Thank you for your comment. If yours is a fine powder, unlike the example in the video, then it probably is going to taste and look different. But you can still make it like shown in the video and it may be delicious. Experiment and let us know. There many different types of "Thai" tea drinks. We plan on making a video showing the variety. This video shows how to make the type of Thai iced tea that popular in restaurants, especially outside Thailand.
I'm so glad for this recipe! I've been paying almost $4 at a local bakery. Recently I found it canned at about $1.50/can but thanks to this recipe I can make a quart of it for the same price plus have it anytime I want! Thanks!
Wow. Im always in da mood for dis drink. LOL!

What is the best milk for this? Condensed, evaporated, or half & half milk?
