Cha Yen, better known as Thai iced tea, is a refreshing, sweet drink typically made from tea, milk and sugar. It is very popular in Thailand and often served as a cool companion to spicy Thai dishes.
Ingredients
- 960 ml water
- 4 to 6 black tea bags (Ceylon tea preferred)
- 150 g sugar
- 120 ml condensed milk
- 120 ml evaporated milk
- 60 ml coconut milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 400 g ice cubes
Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil in a pot, then take it off the heat.
- Add the tea bags and let them steep for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you want it.
- Remove the tea bags and add the sugar to the warm tea. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Let the tea cool, then chill it in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Mix the condensed milk, evaporated milk and coconut milk in a small bowl.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over it.
- Slowly pour the milk mixture over the tea so it gathers on the surface before you stir, which gives a nice layered look.
- Stir well before drinking.
