Thai Iced Tea Recipe

• portions: 6 servings
• temps actif: 10 minutes
• temps total: 40 minutes

Ingrédients

4 cups water

4 organic black tea bags

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 anise stars

1 green cardamom pod (, smashed)

2 whole cloves

3/4 cup half and half (approximately,, some folks also use coconut milk, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk)

ice

Instructions

Bring water to boil and add the tea bags, sugar, star anise, cardamom pod and cloves. Stir until all the sugar dissolves. Gently boil tea for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Allow tea to steep for at least 30 minutes and allow it to cool. The more concentrated the tea flavor, the better the Thai tea tastes. We prefer to allow the tea bags to seep for about 2 hours for maximum flavor. During this time, the thai tea can cool.

Remove the tea bags and spoon out the star anise, cardamom pod and cloves (or strain to remove). If tea is still warm, we will refrigerate it so it can be chilled. You can make this ahead of time and have the organic Thai tea chilling in the fridge.

Fill glasses with ice and pour in organic Thai tea leaving enough room to fill in your half and half (or other creamer). For an 8 oz. glass we like to add about 2-3 tablespoons of half and half for a creamier flavor.
