Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 cups water
- 3 tbsp Thai Tea leaves (or sub with regular black tea leaves or decaf black tea leaves for a decaf version)

Instructions
- 1
First in a tea strainer, line it with a coffee filter to help strain out very tiny tea leaves. Do not skip. Then fill the lined tea strainer with the tea leaves. If you're using black tea bags, you can skip this step and place the bags into the small pot. Then place the strainer into the small pot and fill the pot with 2 cups of water. Bring it a boil on medium-high heat. Reduce to low-medium heat to simmer and let this steep until it's very dark brown, about 5 minutes.

Then in two separate glasses, fill them each with 1 tbsp of condensed milk followed by divided ice cubes. If you prefer this hot, pour into a mug and skip the ice cubes.
