There are many different versions of Thai tea. Typically it’s made with ceylon or black tea and flavored with star anise or tamarind. And almost always it’s topped with sweetened condensed milk. These are flavors that I probably would never have thought to pair together. But it’s awesome!

Thai Ice Tea (the EASY version)
5-6 quarts water
2 cold brew black tea bags (I used Lipton)
5 star anise
1/4 cup brown sugar
Combine the water and cold brew tea bags for 3-4 minutes (according to your packages directions). Remove and stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Add the star anise and refrigerate for 1 hour.
In a glass, add a heaping spoonful of prepared boba, if using. Fill the glass with ice. Pour in the ice. Add a heaping spoonful of sweetened condensed milk, or more to your liking.
Serve with the condensed milk poured on top, or mix it in. Up to you. 🙂 Enjoy! xo. Emma

Looks beautiful and delicious! I love Thai Tea with Boba, it’s one of my favorite things…
I need to try this. I buy my Thai Tea with boba from a tea spot here, and I could probably save a bit of money if I made my own.

It’s easy to make iced tea using regular tea bags, and it gives you the option of using higher quality tea. Just boil a half a mug of water, add two tea bags, and let steep for 3-4 minutes before icing down. The goal is to make a small amount of highly concentrated tea that will get watered down as the ice melts. We do this at the fair trade organic coffee shop where I work.
Sounds like the perfect drink for fall! I love boba, but I have no idea where to buy them. It makes drinks so fun!
