Thai Tea Recipe

Aaaand let the party begin! Just kidding. What I really meant was welcome to Christalina's Corner. And as the official first post I want to share one of my favorite things...Thai Tea. I absolutely love Thai Tea and have tried it at various places. Some places are great, some...not so good. Suffice to say, my love for Thai Tea has definitely motivated me to try it out at home. At first I couldn't manage to get the tea strong enough but after many test trials I think I've finally perfected. Below is a recipe for Thai Tea that I've found works for me.

Thai Tea Recipe

What You Need:

French press (or pot)

2/3 cup of sugar

1/3 cup of loose leaf Thai Tea

4 cups of water

Half and half (or whole milk) to top off

Directions:

Pour in the tea leaves and sugar into the french press. Heat up the water and pour into the french press. Let the tea brew for about five minutes and make sure that the sugar is completely dissolved. Now if you don't have a french press you can put the tea, sugar, and water in a pot on the stove and boil the tea for about 15 minutes. After the tea is brewed and strained, you can either drink it hot or refrigerate if you want to drink it chilled. Pour the tea over ice and then add a little half and half according to your preference. Now you have your very own glass of homemade Thai Tea. Enjoy!
