How to Make Thai Tea
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Add 4 tablespoons of Thai red leaf tea and 2 star anise seeds. Remove from heat.
- Steep for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all tea leaves are submerged.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh strainer or coffee filter into a large pitcher, discarding the tea leaves and star anise.
- Add 1/2 cup of sugar (or to taste) to the hot tea and stir until completely dissolved.
- Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
- Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled (at least 2 hours).
- Fill tall glasses with ice.
- Pour the chilled tea into the glasses, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
- Gently float 3-4 tablespoons of evaporated milk on top of the ice in each glass.
