Cha Thai (Iced Tea) Recipe


   
Recipe Categories: Beverage Recipes
Yield: 6 Servings
 
Ingredients
  3  tb Thai tea (cha thai)  
  6  oz Boiling water  
    Sugar or Sweetened Condensed Milk to taste  
    Milk or Half-and-Half  
 
Instructions
 
  1. Place tea in a coffee filter in a drip cone. Preheat carafe with boiling water; discard water. Pour 6 ounces boiling water per serving into cone and let it drip through. Transfer brew to another container, then pour back through filter. Repeat until tea is deep red in color, a total of 4 to 6 times.

 
  2. Sweeten tea to taste with sugar or condensed milk. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and add tea to fill glasses halfway. Add milk or half-and-half and stir.

 
  Variation: The tea may be brewed in a teapot, but it will still need to be filtered through a paper filter or a very fine nylon strainer. Preheat pot with boiling water and allow to steep 6 to 8 minutes before straining.
