Easy Thai Green Tea Recipe For A Sweet And Creamy Treat
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of Thai green tea leaves or green tea bags if loose leaves aren’t available
- 2 cups of boiling water
- 2-4 tablespoons of sugar adjust according to your preference
- 1 cup of ice cubes
- ½ cup of evaporated milk coconut milk, or any milk alternative of your choice
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional
Instructions
Brewing The Tea
- Prepare The Tea: Start by placing the Thai green tea leaves in a heatproof container. Pour the boiling water over the leaves and allow them to steep for 3-5 minutes. The duration will depend on how strong you prefer your tea. For a more intense flavor, lean towards the 5-minute mark.
- Sweeten The Brew: Once the tea has steeped, strain it to remove the leaves. Stir in the sugar while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely. This step is crucial for achieving the signature sweet taste of Thai Green Tea.
Assembling The Drink
- Cool The Tea: Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Then, add ice cubes to a glass.
- Add The Milk: Pour the cooled tea over the ice, leaving enough room at the top for the milk. Slowly add the evaporated milk (or your chosen milk alternative) to create a beautiful layering effect.
- Garnish And Serve: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish your Thai Green Tea with fresh mint leaves. The mint adds a pop of color and introduces a refreshing aroma that complements the drink perfectly.
