Thai Iced Tea

I really liked Thai iced tea when I was younger, but I’m not a big fan of all the sugar and yellow dye in most Thai iced teas so earlier this summer I decided to start making my own.

After making it a few times and tweaking things a bit, I came up with a recipe that I really enjoy and I hope you like it too!

Please note, that this recipe is not nearly as sweet as most Thai iced teas, if you’d like a sweeter tea you can always add more sugar.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this if you decide to make it!

With love from my kitchen to yours,
