Cultured Palate: Dishes from Thailand

Thai Iced Tea

Thai iced tea is a rich concoction of intensely flavored iced tea, served with a healthy pour of sweetened condensed milk. It’s best to get this served with plenty of ice, as it will help you cool down in their intensely hot climate, and it also helps dilute the drink, which is quite sickly-sweet if drunk on its own. Look for it fresh rather than in cans as the taste of freshly-brewed tea can’t be beat.
