Description
Thai iced tea is like chai tea in that both beverages are made with black tea and spices like clove and cardamom. But iced Thai tea has a unique orange color and a creamy base, which we get from using coconut milk. It’s super satisfying and can serve as a nice treat or pick-me-up after a long day.
