Thai Iced Tea

Thai tea is made with a base of strongly brewed black tea, a subtle spice blend and milk that is served over ice.
Although it’s typically made with condensed milk, our vegan version uses full-fat coconut milk.
You can also make this with a Thai tea mix that you can find at stores, instead of making it from scratch.
It’s thick, creamy and has a licorice – like aroma and flavour that is refreshing and gives an instant energy boost.
