Thai Tea
Thai tea is generally made with a strong 'orange' Srilankan tea (the last tin we bought
was "Police Dog Brand" (sic). No additional spices are added.
Put 2 tablespoons of tea in a muslin bag and suspend it over a jug. Pour in one and half
cups of boiling water and let steep for a few minutes.
Transfer the bag to a second jug and pour the water from the first jug into the bag and
steep.
Repeat this, transferring from jug to jug until the tea is strong enough.
Squeeze the bag firmly to extract as much tea as possible, then add either a quarter cup
of sweetened condensed milk, or a quarter cup of unsweetened condensed milk and 4
tablespoons of suger.
Stir to dissolve the sugar, chill in the refrigerator, and serve over shaved ice.
Makes 2 cups.
