Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons Thai Tea Mix Look for brands like Pantai for authenticity.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Can substitute with coconut milk for dairy-free.
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Ensure it's well whipped for creaminess.
  • 1 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk Key ingredient for sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Using pure vanilla is recommended.

  • 1 cup Unsweetened Toasted Coconut Flakes Add for texture; replace with nuts if desired.

  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Electric Mixer
  • loaf or cake pan

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the Thai tea mix, whole milk, and ½ cup of heavy whipping cream. Heat on medium-low until steaming, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove tea leaves.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the strained tea liquid with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the remaining heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Fold the whipped cream into the tea mixture in 2-3 batches, gently combining them.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a loaf or cake pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 8 hours.
  7. Once frozen, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping. Serve with optional toasted coconut flakes.
