Just made this refreshing iced tea for a warm windy day!
Detailed recipe found on Instructables.
Things you need:
2/3 cup Thai tea leaves (found at Asian markets)
1 2/3 cup water
1/2 sugar
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk (12 oz can)
Makes two cups
Prepare yourself for cleanup by having a trash bag handy. =)
Steps:
Boil water and remove from heat.
Add tea leaves. *careful I added it all at once and it created some explosions!
Timer for 4 minutes and let leaves soak.
Sieve the leaves.
Pour liquid into heat friendly pitcher.
It gets messy! All the tea leaves got on everything. (I should've taken a picture)
Thai tea is orange! Everything turned orange! haha
Have fun!
Comments on the site suggested making a simple syrup (Boil equal parts water and sugar). Worked like a charm! I didn't have to worry about the sugar not dissolving.
Really sweet! I think I'll have to reduce the sugar next time. =P
