Thai Iced Tea, or “Cha Yen,” is a popular and refreshing beverage that blends strong brewed black tea with sweetened condensed milk and sugar, creating a rich and creamy flavor. The tea is traditionally brewed with spices like star anise and tamarind, giving it a unique depth of flavor and a slightly spiced, aromatic profile. Once brewed, it’s poured over ice and topped with either evaporated milk, whole milk, or coconut milk, resulting in its signature orange hue and creamy texture. The contrast between the strong, robust tea and the sweet, milky layer creates a perfect balance, making it a favorite drink to cool off in Thailand’s tropical heat. Thai Iced Tea is not only a beloved street beverage but also a staple in Thai restaurants worldwide, often enjoyed alongside spicy or savory dishes.
