Please read the post about this Thai tea recipe. It discusses the brands and different methods on how to
make it to get the orange color, as well as photographs to illustrate the process. When we made our Thai
Tea mix from the Pantai Thai Tea Mix bag, we reduced their suggested sugar amount by about 20% to our
own personal taste. For those of you who prefer an organic version with coconut milk,that option is below
too. In the recipe there are two options for creating your Thai Iced Tea - Option #1 Using a purchased
Pantai Thai Tea Mix and Option #2 - Making it from scratch using organic black tea bags and spices.

Ingredients
option #1 - thai tea mix ingredients:
1 cup Pantai Thai Tea Mix
4 cups water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup half and half (approximately), (some folks also use coconut milk, whole milk, sweetened
condensed milk)
ice
option #2 - using organic tea bags ingredients:
4 cups water
4 organic black tea bags
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 anise stars
1 green cardamom pod , smashed
2 whole cloves
1 cup half and half (approximately), (some folks also use coconut milk, whole milk, sweetened
condensed milk)
ice
Directions
option #1 - thai tea mix directions:
1. Bring water to boil and add the thai tea mix. Add sugar and gently stir to completely dissolve
sugar. Gently boil tea for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. 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.
3. If you are using the Thai tea mix, strain the tea leaves. Set finished Thai tea aside to cool.
4. You can make this ahead of time and have the Thai tea chilling in the fridge. We usually like to
make this tea mix one day ahead.
5. Fill glasses with ice and pour in 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.
option #2 - using organic tea bags directions:
1. Bring water to boil and add the tea bags, sugar, anise starts, cardamom pod and cloves. Stir until
all the sugar disolves. Gently boil tea for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. 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.
3. Remove the tea bags and spoon out the anise starts, cardamom pod and cloves. If tea is still warm,
we will refrigerate it so it can be chilled.
4. You can make this ahead of time and have the organic Thai tea chilling in the fridge.
5. 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.
