Thai Iced Tea Recipe (Cha Yen ชาเย็น)⁠ Adapted from Mark Wiens

Thai Iced Tea Recipe (Cha Yen ชาเย็น)⁠ Adapted from Mark Wiens

January 25, 2021, Beatriz Aurelio

Looking for a sweet refreshing drink to enjoy during the hot summer months? Try out this recipe for Thai iced tea adapted from our friend Mark Wiens @migrationology⁠. In Thai it's called cha yen ชาเย็น, meaning "cold tea". 

Thai Iced Tea

Serves 1
Ingredients⁠:

  • 1 tablespoon Thai black tea (loose-leaf or bag)⁠
  • 1 cup of boiling water⁠
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk⁠ (adjust sweetness to your liking) 
  • 2-3 tablespoons evaporated milk or creamer of choice (half and half, coconut milk, etc.)⁠
  • 1 cup of crushed ice⁠

Directions⁠:

  1. Place loose leaf tea in an infuser or 1 tea bag into a mug, then pour in 1 cup of boiling water. ⁠
  2. Steep the tea for about 5-10 minutes, until it turns dark red in color. Remove the infuser or bag.⁠
  3. Add sweetened condensed milk and stir. Then, add evaporated milk (or creamer of choice) and continue to stir the tea until fully mixed -- the tea should become creamy orange in color.⁠
  4. Pour over a glass of ice and serve. *You can also skip the ice and serve it hot⁠.

Pro Tip: To give your Thai iced tea a final creamy touch, drizzle some additional evaporated milk onto the top of your glass! ⁠
