Recipe ingredients and directions:
6 Servings
3 Tbs. Thai tea (cha thai) (usually found at Oriental Markets or you
may substitute strong black tea)
6 oz. Boiling water
Sweetened Condensed Milk or Sugar to taste
Half-and-Half or Milk
Place tea in a coffee filter in a drip cone. Preheat carafe with
boiling water; discard water. Pour 6 ounces boiling water per
serving into cone and let it drip through. Transfer brew to another
container, then pour back through filter. Repeat until tea is deep
red in color, a total of 4 to 6 times. Sweeten tea to taste with
sugar or condensed milk. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and add
tea to fill glasses halfway. Add milk or half-and-half and stir.
Variation: The tea may be brewed in a teapot, but it will still
need to be filtered through a paper filter or a very fine nylon
strainer. Preheat pot with boiling water and allow to steep 6 to
8 minutes before straining.
