Thai Iced Tea (ชาเย็น) is a drink made from strongly brewed Ceylon tea. However, due to Ceylon tea’s high price, a locally grown landrace (traditional or semi-wild) version of Assam known as Bai Miang (ใบเมี่ยง) with added food coloring is commonly used. Other ingredients may include orange blossom water, star anise, crushed tamarind seed or red and yellow food coloring, and other spices. It’s sweetened with sugar and condensed milk and served chilled. Evaporated milk, coconut milk or whole milk is generally poured over the tea and ice before serving to add taste and creamy appearance. However, in Thailand, condensed milk and sugar are mixed with the tea before it is poured over ice and then topped with evaporated milk. In Thai restaurants worldwide, it is served in a tall glass, though when sold from street and market stalls in Thailand it is more typically poured over the crushed ice in a clear plastic bag or tall plastic cups. At markets, it can be seen to be mixed through pouring the tea at heights of about 4 feet back and forth. It can also be made into a frappé or bubble tea at more Westernized vendors. Dark Thai Iced Tea (ชาดำเย็น) is served chilled without milk, sweetened with sugar only. The concept is based on traditional Indian tea which is used as main ingredient. Lime Thai tea (ชามะนาว) is similar to Dark Thai Iced Tea, but flavored with lime as well as sweetened with sugar. Mint may be added.
