thai iced tea cake

Before I went to 5 and Diamond and after I made my first pitcher of Thai iced tea I made a cake.

Since I had the tea in the fridge anyway, I added a bit of the undiluted mixture to the cake  for extra flavor. Try it, it's yummy.

tons of thai iced tea

I love Thai iced tea. I hate paying 3-4 bucks for a lil thing of Thai iced tea.

Solution?

Make it yourself.

Thai tea leaves

Sugar

Water

Cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg.

I used  over a cup of loose Thai tea leaves and a bunch of sugar with about 10 cups of water.

First let the water boil then add the tea leaves, spices and sugar to simmer for at least 20 minutes.

Let it sit off the heat for 30 mins. 

Strain into a heat proof container ( I used flour sack cloth to strain through a colander into a bowl).

Let it cool to room temperature then place in a pitcher.

Serve over ice with half and half, cream or evaporated milk. 

You can also make it less sweet initially and then use condensed milk.
