Thai iced tea #3
6 Servings
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | tablespoons | Thai tea (cha Thai) |
| 6 | ounces | Boiling water |
| \N | \N | Sugar or sweetened condensed milk to taste |
| \N | \N | Milk or half-and-half |
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.
