I fell in love with Thai tea around 4 years ago when I discovered this drink at a little restaurant north of Seattle. It was so refreshing and yummy. It’s now my go-to drink. Unfortunately, the restaurant has now closed and I’ve been unable find a Thai tea that comes close to the tea from that little restaurant north of Seattle,
Since I am no longer able to get the good stuff, I resorted to my ancestors to guide me to make this inspired Thai tea. After some experimenting with various spices, I believe I’ve elevated the Thai tea flavor to make it a true chef’s delight.
From my table to yours, I hope you enjoy, and remember to bless your neighbor and share a glass! This recipe will make 4 8oz servings.

I had this Thai tea that was featured at a “Chef’s Table” event in a local restaurant in Bellevue. This was by far the most flavorful Thai tea I’ve ever had!
My family and I visited a restaurant in the Bellevue area that featured a Chef’s Table that evening.. The food was amazing and we had a great time! I couldn’t get over how good the iced Thai tea was. Our chef that night was “Old Man Chef”. He showed us his website and the Thai tea recipe. I will definitely be trying this at home.
