Thai Green Tea
This tea is rich and delicious, with the flavor of classic orange Thai tea and the color of matcha. I often don't even measure, so feel free to adjust the ingredient amounts to your liking. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Single serving
- 1 cup water
- 1.5 tbsp Thai tea leaves
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup half and half (or whole milk, coconut milk, or dairy/substitute of your choice)
Large Batch
- 6 cups water
- 1 cup Thai tea leaves
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup half and half (or whole milk, coconut milk, or dairy/substitute of your choice)
Instructions
Single serving
- Add your Thai tea leaves to a French press. (see note above on straining if you don't have one).
- Add hot water (simmering, not quite boiling). I like to use an electric kettle to heat my water.
- Steep for 3 minutes, then strain.
- Add sugar (and ice, if desired) and enjoy!
Large Batch
- Heat water until simmering, then add your tea leaves.
- Let simmer for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat. Let cool and steep for about 30 minutes.
- Strain, using a tea cloth or strainer. (see note above on straining).
- Add your sugar, and let completely cool if storing in fridge.
- Serve hot, over ice, or store in the fridge to drink later!
