Authentic Thai Tea (Cha Yen)
Ingredients
3 tbsp Thai tea powder
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup evaporated milk
2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
crushed ice, as needed for a chilled drink
Directions
Place the Thai tea mix in a cloth tea filter or fine mesh strainer. Hold over a large glass or heatproof container and pour the hot water over it slowly. Let it steep for 2–3 minutes, then remove the strainer.
While the tea is still hot, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk until fully combined.
Fill a tall glass with crushed ice. Pour the tea over the ice, leaving some space at the top. Top with a splash of evaporated milk.
