Steps:
- First step is to boil water, I'm just using a pot, but you could use a water boiler or microwave
- Take your tea sock and add about 1 tablespoon of black Thai tea. It's then easiest to put your tea sock into a bowl or big cup in order to steep the tea.
- Pour 1 cup of boiling water into the tea sock, and push it in and out to steep the tea and extract all that flavr. Steep the tea for a few minutes until it turns nice and dark in color.
- Taking a new cup, pour in 1 glass of hot tea
- Add 2 teaspoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of sweetened condensed milk, and give it a nice stir
- Then add 2 teaspoons of evaporated milk, and continue to stir the tea until everything is fully mixed in
- Optional - A good Thai iced tea should have a little froth or some bubbles on top, so take 2 pitchers, and pour the tea from one to the other, with a bit of elevation. You could do this in a different way too, but it's pretty fun!
- Take a cup and fill it all the way to the top with crushed ice
- Gentry pour your hot tea mixture over the cup of ice
- To give your Thai iced tea a final creamy touch, drizzle on some more evaporated milk onto the top of your cup
- Add a straw, and you're ready to start slurping it down!

THAI ICED TEA (ZWT-9)
There are several recipes in the data base for Thai Iced Tea, but none like this one. Nancie McDermott was credited for this recipe found at "Quick & Easy Thai: 70 Everyday Recipes". From her intro: "Sold in 1 lb cellophane-wrapped packets in Asian markets, this finely chopped black tea is spiced w/cinnamon, star anise & vanilla, & then tinged w/a bit of food coloring to create its gorgeous terra-cotta hue. Like Thai coffee, Thai tea is traditionally sweetened well w/sugar as it brews & crowned w/a generous splash of evaporated milk or half-&-half just before serving. You can brew Thai tea in a teapot, drip coffeemaker or French press (making it very strong & adding sugar while the tea is still very hot). Time has been estimated & does not include cool & chill time. Enjoy!

CHA YEN (THAI ICED TEA)
This homemade Thai iced tea gets its complex flavor from black tea, rooibos tea, star anise and cloves, and its sweetness from condensed milk. Adapted from the cookbook "Bangkok" by Leela Punyaratabandhu, this version is hardly typical: Most Thai iced tea sold on the streets of Bangkok - or in Thai restaurants stateside - contains an immoderate amount of sweetened condensed milk and uses a store-bought mix, which contains food coloring. The tea blend used here is intense on its own, but mellowed by ice and milk. Chill the tea fully before pouring it over ice so its flavors don't get diluted.
