How long did you brew your ice tea for? You have to brew it for a while and steep and resteep, at least that’s how my family does it. Will definitely try that recipe when we have some next time!

I brewed that stuff for hours. Could have gone longer though. I would say about 3 total…

If you really want to get that chai tea taste…then maybe try using a cup of condensed organic chai tea…i think that would help bunches with making a distinct chai tea flavour. (Or you could use all the spices they use in the tea.)

It’s actually Thai Ice Tea not Chai. Thai Ice Tea is the orange stuff you get at Thai restaurants. Thanks for the tip though, I may try a chai tea cupcake at some point.

I don’t know how exactly you made the tea, but if you went per the instructions on the page you linked to you might want to skip the “add water” part? That should give you a much stronger tea. Maybe adding more leaves and/or less water might also help.

I love your pictures by the way and I will use some of your ideas though not your recipes (I’m in germany, so I don’t have cups and our “sticks of butter” are probably a different weight than yours ;-) But that’s ok, you’re inspiring me!)

Good ideas for sure. I will need to try the recipe again soon. I should really provide measurements in grams and ounces… That is impolite of me.

Hi: You need to use a thai tea steeper, not a regular coffee pot or tea thingy used in the US. http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/recipes/thaitea.html

has good directions.

I know this is super outdated, but if anyone still checks this….we steep our thai iced tea for 6 hours. So, you might try that. You’ll get an authentic thai tea flavor for sure!

Wow…intriguing recipes! Just came across this recipe while conducting a search on “condensed milk”. I thought to myself, “how innovative and new!” Then I saw the date and realized I’m waaay behind the times. Your recipe reminds me of the fun and often oddly delicious flavors of ice-cream at “Scoops” here in LA (lavender, honey and goat cheese ice-cream anyone?). I’ll have to try your recipe sometime. =)
