Ingredients
2 tbsp Thai tea leaves
1 cup boiling water
1 tbsp sugar or 3/4 oz 2:1 clear syrup
juice from 1/2 a lime
ice
Directions
Brew tea for 5 minutes. Strain, ideally with a French press and then through a pour-over coffee filter to catch the tea dust. Let the tea cool, then mix with lime and sweetener and pour over ice.
Notes
This is a revelation! I love classic Thai iced tea with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk, but it’s rich. I was hesitant I’d appreciate this lime version with no creamy element but it’s so bright and refreshing! I tried it with sugar so I could gauge how sweet I wanted it, but next time I’d use syrup as it blends easier.
