Description

A luscious, dairy-free twist on classic Thai iced tea—bold, amber tea swirled with creamy coconut milk for a tropical, refreshing beverage you’ll want on repeat.


Ingredients

4 cups water

4 Thai tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose Thai tea leaves)

1/3 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1

1/2 cup canned coconut milk (full‑fat preferred for extra creaminess)

Ice cubes


Instructions

Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the Thai tea bags (or loose tea in a strainer) and steep for 10 minutes.

Remove the tea bags and stir in the sugar and vanilla extract while the tea is still hot. Let the tea cool to room temperature.

Transfer the sweetened tea to a pitcher and chill in the fridge until completely cool (about 1 hour).

Fill tall glasses with ice and pour the chilled tea over the ice, leaving room at the top.

Gently pour the coconut milk over the tea to create the signature swirl effect. Stir before drinking, or simply enjoy it layered.
