Tea Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Thai tea leaves
  • 1 cup off-the-boil water
  • 4-5 teaspoon sugar
  • juice from half a juicy lime
  • a lot of ice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Let Thai tea leaves steep in the hot water for 3-5 minutes and strain. You can steep the tea in a cloth filter or just in a cup and then pour it through a paper filter.
  • To the strained tea, add the sugar and stir to mix. Let the tea cool off for a few minutes; or you can add an ice cube if you're in a rush.
  • When ready to serve, fill your glass with ice, squeeze the lime over the ice, and pour in the mixed tea.
  • Taste, and add more lime if needed. Enjoy!

Notes

If making a big batch, you can mix the tea up to this point ahead of time and store in the fridge.
