Thai Iced Tea

Posted on March 3, 2013 | by Ray

A few days ago, I posted Sweet & Spicy Pork Ribs — Thai style BBQ Ribs. Today, we will be making Thai Iced Tea to go with those yummy ribs. Thai iced tea is a simple and easy beverage to make, and of course, very flavorful. Thai tea mix like “Traditional Restaurant Style” is available at most Asian Supermarkets.

Boil water

This is also popular in Malaysia, first I find it weird but when I got used to it sometimes I do crave for them

Whoa! This is my most fave drink ever! Even Malaysian restaurants offer this – I always order it. When we go to Thai Kitchen, I don’t even have to finish my sentence when ordering and the waitress says “you like Thai Iced tea?” Thanks for sharing the recipe. I think I’ll make some today for myself. Cheers, Chef Ray & THANKS for the blog-visit, kind comments and support!

I drink a lot of iced tea in the summer, but have never made the Thai variety. Something I need to do! Looks wonderful – thanks.

Ray, it looks awesome! I have never heard of Thai tea before, but I’m sure they sell it in my Asian shop (they have lots of Thai ingredients, even fresh). I must taste it.
It’s funny because it seems we both long for spring, but it’s not exactly there yet, so powerful but fresh Thai flavours are perfect for this time of the year. I’m sure this tea would taste great with my pork curry.

  I’m sure it would pair nicely with your pork curry, Sissi. Thank you so much. If you ever look for it in Asian market, this is the brand I always use — Thai Tea Mix by Pantai. Thank you, Sissi!

Oh Ray – I LOVE your video!!!! What a perfect video and the mood and music is perfect for tea time! Now I really want a Thai Tea! I’ve ordered it many times at Thai Restaurant but it’s always served with condensed milk which makes it very, very sweet. I usually have it for dessert. I love it that you use half and half and sugar. I’m headed to the Asian market and have just added Thai tea to the list. Perfect timing!!!

  Thank you, MJ! I’m glad the video sets you in the mood. I know, I like making it at home because I could control the sweetness.

Expecting more snow this afternoon/tonight and into tomorrow maybe even Friday. Not ice tea weather, will save for warmer days.

I’m curious – what kind of Thai tea? Do they just say “Thai Tea” on the package? I want to get it! We always have half and half for coffee, so I should make this at home! And what SUPER COOL video you made! Love the relaxing music and now I am totally in the mood for Thai Iced Tea!

  It actually says Thai Tea Mix. Most Asian groceries carry it and the brand that I always use is Thai Tea Mix by Pantai. Click on the name to see what it looks like. You can use condensed milk but I like Half & Half and just sweetened with sugar. Thank you, Nami I’m glad you liked the video.

No wonder this stuff tastes so good — there’s cream in it. LOL I can never resist Thai iced tea when I go out for Thai food.

Great idea Ray! It is almost like Hong Kong milk tea if you add the sweetened condensed milk and filter it with a stocking. I have had Thai coffee but believe it or not, not their tea. So do you suggest to brew it really strong or then does it get too bitter? Take care, BAM

  I like the stocking filter but I stopped wearing it. LOL! If you steep it longer than 5 minutes, it gets bitter but that’s me. Some folks like it bitter though. Thank you for the comment, BAM.

Thanks for sharing this Ray! I’ll definitely check out the Asian store for thai tea in my next visit.

Ooooh…this looks like the Malaysian teh tarik. I really miss that. Just love the colour of the tea. In Malaysia, the teh tarik is made from tea dust. Now I’m really missing home, all because of you In this cold, freezing weather, I would got for hot instead of iced.

I absolutely love Thai iced tea. I order it whenever I’m at Thai restaurants. I came here via MJ’s Thai Tea Smoothie post. I wanted to learn how to make one of my favorite drinks at home. Thanks for the recipe. Great video!
