thai tea ice cream.
thai iced tea is one of my favorite drinks in the whole wide world. whenever i see it on a menu at a thai restaurant or a tea house, i have to order it. i’m compelled. i’m powerless against it.
thai iced tea is spicy, sweet, rich, thick, indulgent. easily one of my top ten favorite beverages in the history of beverages.
an aromatic, refreshing blend of spices and tea, topped off with sweetened condensed milk. perhaps not the healthiest thing to drink all the time, but if you’re going to indulge, boy is this ever a satisfying way to do so!
as i’m sure you’re aware, i like making ice cream. a lot. it’s fun. it’s simple. and come on, what else are you going to do on a 100 degrees plus humidity kind of day? go outdoors? yeah, right.
so. thai iced tea. delicious as it is, but i’m pretty smitten with it in ice cream form.
if you can find thai tea leaves, or thai tea mix in an asian grocery store or online, go for it. i didn’t go that route, for one because i couldn’t find thai tea leaves anywhere, but mostly because most of those mixes have dyes in them, which i find to be an unnecessary additive. your ice cream will be a lovely shade of burnt orange as long as you infuse the milk with the tea and spices for a long enough time, so why bother with artificial dyes?
this ice cream is herbal, piquant, creamy, sweet, smooth and refreshing. it’s perfect on its own, but i like topping it with a bit of lightly sweetened freshly whipped cream, mostly because it visually reminds me of thai iced tea. it’s pretty.
if you’re feeling really crazy, drizzle on a teeny tiny bit of sweetened condensed milk for a more traditional and authentic thai tea experience.
also, this ice cream would be so delicious blended up into a milkshake! oh yes, do that. make a thai tea ice cream milkshake.
thai tea ice cream! exclamation point! okay, maybe i’m a little overly excited about it, but i really think you’re going to love this ice cream. it’s pretty swoon-worthy. i think you’ll agree.
