Thai Iced Tea
Bring the water to boil in a medium-sized pot. Remove from heat and add the tea leaves, pushing them into the water until they are completely submerged. Steep approximately 5 minutes or until the liquid is a bright orange.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee strainer.
Stir in the sugar until completely dissolved.
Allow the tea to reach room temperature and then refrigerate.
To serve, pour the tea over ice cubes, leaving room at the top of the glass to pour in 3 to 4 tablespoons of half-and-half; stir briefly to combine.
Yields approx. 8 cups
Similar to the previous recipe but without the condensed milk, this tea is slightly less rich, but certainly no less sweet.
