Thai iced tea is one of our favorite drinks. It is smooth, refreshing, and delicious. Recently, we set out on a mission to find the best recipe so we could make this exotic drink ourselves. Not only did we discover how to make the tea just as creamy and flavorful as the original, but we also learned some interesting things along the way. We were thrilled to find out how easy it is to make this at home. It cooks in just ten minutes, and most of the ingredients we already had on hand. Also, we were surprised to learn that the traditional orange color is nothing more than artificial dye. Thankfully, this additive is not necessary, and our simple version of this delicious beverage uses only fresh, natural ingredients. Here, robust black tea is steeped with cinnamon, sugar, vanilla, whole cloves, and star anise, then chilled, served over a tall glass of ice, and generously topped with a rich swirl of cream and sweet condensed milk.
