Authentic Thai Iced Tea image

This is the perfect Thai iced tea recipe! Find Thai tea leaves at any Asian market. It's so easy to make this refreshing drink...be careful, you may become critical of your favorite Thai restaurant's concoction because you can do it better. Some Thai tea mixes have food coloring in them to make them bright orange and some are labeled as "Thai tea powder", so making it from scratch gives you the best flavor.
