Rich, creamy, and beautifully fragrant, Thai Milk Tea is one of Thailand’s most popular drinks. This easy homemade version combines strong Thai tea, sweetness, milk, and plenty of ice for a refreshing drink you can enjoy at any time.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Thai tea mix
  • 50ml  cups hot water
  • 1 tablespoon Coffee Mate
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons evaporated milk
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar, optional
  • Ice cubes
  • Extra evaporated milk for topping, optional

Instructions

  1. Add the Thai tea mix to a heatproof jug or cup.
  2. Pour in the hot water and allow the tea to steep for about 4–5 minutes.
  3. Strain the tea carefully to remove the tea leaves.
  4. While the tea is still hot, add the sweetened condensed milk and stir well.
  5. Add the evaporated milk and sugar, if needed. Mix until smooth.
  6. Fill a serving glass with plenty of ice.
  7. Pour the prepared Thai tea over the ice.
  8. Add a small splash of evaporated milk on top for a creamy finish.
  9. Stir and serve immediately.

Cook with Kift Tip

Brew the tea slightly stronger than usual because the ice and milk will soften the flavour. For the best taste, use an authentic Thai tea mix.
