Scale
Thai Green Tea Base
- 32 oz water (4 cups)
- 30g Thai green tea mix
- 100g brown sugar (I'm using light brown sugar)
Cold Foam/Ice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons milk (I'm using evaporated milk)
- 4 tablespoons French vanilla syrup or sweetened condensed milk
- About 6 cups whole ice
Instructions
- Steep the tea: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a small pot then immediately turn off heat. Add the Thai green tea leaves loosely and let them steep in the hot water for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the leaves. While the tea is still hot, stir in the sugar until it is fully dissolved. Place the tea in the fridge to cool down completely (about one hour). Alternatively, you can use this awesome heat-proof tea pitcher with built-in strainer.
- Make the cold foam: In medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sweetener. Use an electric mixer or whisk to whip up the mixture until thick and pillowy but still fluid enough to pour.
- Assemble: For each serving, add 1 cup of the chilled tea to a tall glass filled with a heaping cup of ice. This recipe makes 4 tall glasses.
- Top and serve: Gently spoon the cold foam over the top of the tea. Give it a quick stir when you are ready to take that first sip.
