Because Thailand is known for hot temperature, many of its drinks are iced. Ice offers Thai people refreshing coolness. Most of the drinks and beverages in Thailand also use condensed milk as one of their major ingredients. The sweet taste of condensed milk greatly helps in battling against the heat and the many spicy foods in Thailand.

Among the most popular Thai drinks that you can prepare for yourself is Thai iced tea. You just need water, black tea leaves, sugar, condensed milk and crushed ice for its ingredients. What you need to do is to first boil the water. Once it boils, you can pour it on top of the black tea leaves in a jug or teapot. Strain it for about two minutes and add sugar before you leave it to cool. While waiting for the tea to cool, you can fill a glass or a container with plenty of crushed ice and mix the condensed milk. You can then pour cold tea in the glass or container and serve the drink.
